[66 GWN]

Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself. Been looking at this site and finally joined. So much information in one location.... It's great. I've called myself 66 GWN (Great White North). Obviously from North of the border. I purchased a 66 fleetside a couple of years back I found on a local classified add. I've always wanted one since my grandfather taught me to drive his 33 years ago. Thought it would be a great project for me and my sons to spend some time together rebuilding it and learning as we go. Well, the first two years we may have spent a week total on it. The kids were not interested at all. Times change and now all they want to do is work on the truck. Fun times.

Getting parts in Canada is very difficult and expensive we have found, so we are quickly becoming body work "experts".not sure what it is like south of the border but finding donor parts at a scrap yard is next to impossible. We have found one place near Toronto called bills truck shop which we have made a trip to a couple of times. Very helpful. Boy you could spend a lot of coin there..... Like a candy store ...

I'll post some pics of the beast soon.... No laughing....

Thanks for letting us join the club. Looking forward to share our experiences as we go.

Now for the Question:
How do I verify my engine, tranny and rear end?. PO told me it was not original. Said it was a 305 but didn't know what the tranny or rear end were..
