Re: 66 C10- SWB V8 Auto AC- "Cropwell"
The MC is from a 70 or 72 Chevy Impala, it MUST be setup for drum/drum.
I did send it on down the road, it was an awesome truck and the new owner is driving the piss out of it! Win-Win

Right place, right time and combing craigslist consistently. On the past two, if its a good deal you have to jump on it quick and that usually means trailering it home.

Re: 66 C10- SWB V8 Auto AC- "Cropwell"
Well guys, here is Cropwell in AZ now forever! I just recently purchased her and followed her for about 2 years before I was able to get it. Working on more improvements here and there but she will be staying original with all the patina! Here are some current pictures she has already been in her first show last week and new name is Shorty Deluxe!! Planning on a Factory OEM instrument cluster change as well with the original tach as well and the seat being redone factory original with the OEM material! Will be getting the AC up an functioning as well too. Also just recently found a OEM mirror same correct color and patina as the truck. Small improvements will be done in the near future but she is going to retire with my wife and I here in AZ, and plan to get a small Airstream Bambi to go with shorty deluxe as well down the road. She is in the desert to stay! Here are some updated pictures. No more Alabama fields for this old 66! She spends allot of time in a garage now! But try to drive it as often as I can! And thanks again Shad for helping me out! She is fun as heck to drive!

Re: 66 C10- SWB V8 Auto AC- "Cropwell"
Welcome to AZ to your truck.
This is one of my favourite ever colours. Sounds like you are very much happy with the truck as well. Keep us updated.

Thanks for the note! Would really like to hear how long you saw it was it there. I thought it sat there for almost 7 years from what I was told! It is all redone now just left the patina! |
