Ember - 66 GMC LWB Fenderside

[nifty]

Hey Everyone,
I’m new to the board (well outside of lurking on it the past few weeks, ha), and am about to embark upon my first ever build!!! I’m so stoked, confused, anxious, and in so far over my head (already), I can’t wait to get started!

I’ve been looking for a vehicle with “character” for awhile now, (really since leaving behind my ’83 El Camino when I left home to go to college) 12 years later I found this baby after tracking down an ad in the local paper. After a couple weeks of phone tag and haggling, we met at local shop, struck our deal, and I was driving this sweet thing home!

… one blown radiator hose, running out of gas, and a sloppy first gear later we made it… old trucks… gotta love them, or don’t drive them.

The Vitals:
1966 GMC Fenderside LWB SBW
Chevy L6 250 (3877187, obviously not original)
3 speed manual transmission
P.O. appears to have monkeyed around with the brakes
Most everything else appears to be stock/original (but what do I now, ha!)
… well except for that crazy rear bumper!

Now for what you all wanted…. PICTURE TIME!
