1966 gmc

[KJSR]

Over a year ago I started looking for a 64-66 truck. There was one in a guys back yard that had been there for a while. I placed a note in his mail box and never heard anything. I ended up buying a 64 Chevrolet and got it going. Fast forward a year later....I get a call from a guy. He said I was interested in his truck and I had left a note. I told him that I had already found one but may be interested in his for the right price. I went to look at it and found a one owner very original 1966 GMC truck. I still didn't need it so I kind of low balled him a price. He thought for a minute and took the offer.



My buddies and I aired up the tires and put it on the trailer. Had a little drama on the way home via a broken strap. The rear strap broke, came forward enough to allow one hook of the front strap to come off. This allowed the trucks rear wheels to go all the way off the trailer. As I was slowing down the truck went back onto the trailer and rear ended my Dodge. I was amazed there was so little damage. Moral of this....use chains!!



A very small dent on my bumper...



After cleaning the mouse nests out and getiing rid of the trash...



Opened the glove box and found the original owners manual, warranty info and the protectoplate! There was also good documentation of the mileage.



It will go on the back burner for a while but I like that it is so complete I cant bring myself to part it out.
