GMC grills, I wanted a dual headlight grill for a while, but good luck finding one with all the bits for cheap.

I had 2 painted ones. One that was on the truck and one that just hung on the wall(dented). Then i took the one off the wall and traded a guy i know for a chrome one. Now i have my good painted one (no dents) hanging on the wall and a chrome one on the truck. And NO i'm not going to sell them.

Up here in Canada an automatic with the 2 speed column is very rare. I understand that a turbo 400 was available in 66. Has anyone ever seen a c10 with one? I'm thinking that the 3 speed steering column that it would come with would be quite rare. V8 trucks are scarce up here also, I've only seen a few. Have never seen a 327 that originally came in one of these trucks either.

Dash mount clock, vacuum gauge, tach and undermount tach and factory AC.

I just remembered the power brake pad. I’ve only seen one NOS example (on Ebay) in the last 15 years or so. I no longer remember what it sold for, but it was way more than I could afford:

A finished truck.

Kind of kidding.

The hood was the toughest part for me.
