Keeping up with Johnoro......66' SWB, BBW - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 01-22-2013, 10:26 PM

It may not be as nice as John's new 66' right now,

but we all have to start somewhere,

no motor or trans, lots of factory options and luckily not to much rust

198plus · 01-22-2013, 10:37 PM

Nice !!!

Mad Rods · 01-22-2013, 10:41 PM

John, the interior is nothing to write home about, they hacked the dash

on the upside there's no speaker holes in the doors, there's also a tilt out of a ? that looks like it's been there for a long time, but John this truck is not nearly as nice as your 66'.

Shawno, the guards are one of the many option this truck came with, including.....soft ray tinted glass, door side window frames (I've never seen these in this year before), power steering, power brakes, stainless grill and the molding on the windshield, I'm sure it probably came with a V8 and automatic from the factory.

Thanks Chief, how rare are these window frames?

**MisterC** · 01-23-2013, 02:19 PM

Nice Score Rene! You answered my question before I could ask it. I wanted that picture of the window frames. Those are a classy touch! BTW, I just rolled by your place on the Amtrak about 10 minutes ago.
