Haybarn 66 c10
We've had this 66 in a hay barn for the past 20 years, about everytime I've wanted to pull it out and start on it either it's been blocked in by round bells or something has came up. Well last week the hay was moved and I had the time to pick it up. I rounded up 4 rollers and some tools and headed to my dads place.
![]() ![]() ![]() Loaded up and headed to the house ![]() Finally safe at home! ![]() My plans are to redo the brakes, drop in a motor and trans, slam, round up some missing parts, and drive the wheels off it. I really don't need another project right now but I can't help myself. |

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
I'm guessing the rust isn't too bad, good for you.

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
Looks to be a good solid truck to start with. What are your plans for the build?

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
I went today and ordered brake parts, I've located a straight six and 3 speed, and I'm shopping for drop springs and shocks. As the exterior goes I want to get the orange off the drivers door and roll it. I'm trying to avoid getting into another major rebuild-restro project.

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
Now that is one swell barn find.
![]() I would drive it like it is - once it is up and running and safe. Nothing beats real patina. ![]()

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
Thanks! I agree! That's my plan as well, being blocked in the barn with a bunch of round bails definitely saved this one, 10 years ago this truck would have been used for spare parts and it almost was 20 years ago. My dad owned the truck before and traded it to friend,(that's the orange door origin) luckily he traded backed for the truck again but not before the original seat and motor and trans were pulled. To me the original paint/patina movement has saved a lot of these old trucks and cars from becoming scrap.

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
Thanks man, yeah I'm hoping to get it going soon rather than just throwing money at it. Don't get me wrong I see a lot of super nice cars and trucks out there that I would love to own but I don't have the attention span to go from a truck like this to a truck like some of the super nice ones I see. Hats off to the guys that can but I can't stick to it like that.

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
Nice rescue! Have fun and good choice going with a six shooter. I have a 292 between my fenders backed with 3 on the tree. Love it!

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
![]() Picked a 6cyl, 3spd, and brake parts Friday, degreased and picked new gaskets and motor mounts Sunday. Hoping to get everything cleaned up and resealed this coming week. Last edited by Jgowin; 05-04-2014 at 10:33 PM. |

Re: Haybarn 66 c10
One my dads friends had them, he's got one more that's pretty decent, it's got a couple tears on the sides but the top is pretty good.

Making good progress. Did you get a chance to clean it up yet?
