Hello Everybody

[Togart]

I've been lurking here since late last year and thought I'd finally speak up.

I bought a 1966 GMC 1500 last year for $200. It had been my (now ex) brother-in-law's, although he hadn't had it that long before he skedaddled.

It has been repainted/restored at some point. The V6 is gone and has been replaced by a '73 350, but it still has the powerglide. It's got the Dana-60 out back, not sure on the gearing...but my bro-in-law said the engine was screaming out on the highway. He took the bed off and built the crappy flatbed, but I have the panels still, thankfully.



It runs, though I haven't had it out on the road yet due to carb problems. Plus the front brake lines are looking a bit scary, and I don't know what the shoes/drums are like.

Here's a link to a gallery of more pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2870747...7623617245267/

I was planning on getting it so I could drive it around a bit this summer, but money is a bit tight at the moment (isn't it always!). I can see this thing nickel-and-dimeing me to death as it is, so I may just tear it down and do it right from the start.

Anyway, hi to everybody....I'm happy to become a part of this great community
