Score! That kicks a*s!

Nice!

Welcome to the world of 60-66 4x4's. Nice find. I take it does not have an engine? Do you know if it originally came with a V-8? If it didn't the right hand engine mount is different for a six cylinder. It can be moved but it is not right because it is to short. I have seen several members on this board find the correct mounts for a V-8. I hope yours is set up for that. Also hard to tell from the pics is it a small or big back window.

Nice find indeed...'66 Chevy K20. The productions numbers were around 3,000 for the '66 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 trucks. I like the wheels. I have a set on my '66 Chevy C20 Custom Camper. I just the twin to your truck. Hang on to it as long as you can, because they are rare, especially with a V8 and big back window.

Damn, that truck is NICE!
You've got a good plan too, drive her as she is.

**Captainfab** · 03-20-2009, 12:37 AM

Awesome score

that's a nice clean and straight 4X. Post some pics when start working on it.

Sweet !!

*roofing458* · 03-20-2009, 08:41 AM

It has the small back window. The truck originally had a 283 it now has a running 6 in it drove it around the block IT’S a bear to steer .The motor swap & power steering will be the first things done. Also the steering column swaps what works the best functionality, more room and looks .Will be asking a lot of questions & hitting FAQ section often when I get time …..
Nice red truck you have

Tony this was the truck from Lake city Ks .I made a deal with the guy on some boat parts & he wanted the body off it. It end up being a great deal .Well any way do we have any Chicago area members (CHIME IN) that I could contact for some work on this truck, power steering & column .motor install rather pay somebody from here that knows these trucks otherwise it will get put off until winter .Then again I have a back problem I will be getting fix later in the year I know I will not be able to do much for a couple months . Well any way love your trucks good luck in the construction business this year if you don’t build um I have no roof jobs.....thanks kevin
