66 ReinCARnation

This is a 1966 C10 we picked up today for cheap!

We didn't take the bed. Didn't have any need for it!
When we got it home!


Was last registered in 1989. It actually runs! Needs a carb rebuild... Doing that tomorrow!

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

Pretty much gonna leave it like it is... Add a flat bed and rebuild the carb and some wheels and tires.

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

Tore the carburetor down last night and soaked it overnight in carb cleaner dip can. Rebuilt it today and got it on and running. It will now idle. Still need a little fine tuning, but it runs nicely!
Started staining the bed wood last night. Finished it up early this morning. We chose a color from Rustoleum called Cabernet!


Now bed is finished!

Goal for this weekend met!

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

Did a little more work today. Found out that the left rear wheel was missing the drum and the wheel cylinder and hardware were trashed. Also found out that the rear gears are shot. Good thing is I have another rear that is going to get swapped in. Got the old one out before I ran out of daylight. Also found out today that the fuel tank is full of crap. Looks like gas has been in there for 25 years since it was last on the road. This aught to be fun!
Here's a couple pics of the completed bed. Took before dark. Still need to do poly!

Thanks! We took way too long on it, with many changes in between and still a little bit of modifying all the way up to the end! But we are both very happy with how it turned out.

That's ok, your getting the quality and fit of want you want in the long run. Looks like the time was worth the wait!!

Too bad your not just a little closer to NC...I have a stack of those drums 3 feet high.

Yeah, surprisingly we both like the color as well. I was afraid it would turn out purple, but I think it will be ok. We will see what happens once the poly goes on.

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

Rot in the rockers. Typical for these trucks.





Right side...



Everything cut out on the left side and cleaned up.

New piece I made to repair this area...

Trimmed down to fit the cut out area and tacked it place...

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

In the process of trying to clean out the fuel tank... I think it's a lost cause and we need to just buy a new tank.
This is the nasty mess that is coming out of the tank! 25 year old gas is pretty disgusting!

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

Met up with the guys from the Upstate SC GM Truck Club this afternoon for our monthly meet and greet... Lots of cool trucks and nice people. Got me a sticker and couldn't wait to get it on the truck!

Re: 66 ReinCARnation

Thanks... It has slowed down a lot due to time and funding. We are getting a new fuel tank this week and I'm ordering weatherstrip and window gaskets this week as well. Plan to have it ready for a local car show by Saturday. Hopefully get some folks interested.
