New 66 i just bought - slow build while cruising

[cheapfix66]

Just pickup up a 1966 c10 short fleetside finally,ive been wanting one for a long time,going to cruises and shows with my dad and his 65 355 blown stepside,ive browsed for one and tried to save but being a single father of three things come up as some of you know.well anyways finally got one at $500.00 that i saw on cl six months ago for $1600.00,the kid drove it whith the spindle cracked and it finally broke so he couldnt find one and sold it cheaper,yay me.

Passenger side is a little worse but with a set of new fenders and a door skin,it'll be on its way.came with a pair of new cpp front lowering springs,kind of like the stance so not sure if im gonna use them,not sure how much drop they even are.but cant wait to hunt down this knuckle and hub assy so i can drive it.

I have a complete front end off a 66 gmc 1/2 ton, but you can order parts from Rock Auto for the 66......pretty inexpensive........Kieth

Yeah,not to bad of prices for our body style,ive collected like eight catalogues over the past six months since i knew i would have one.need a right fender real bad,worse part of the truck,i think something hit it and just was never primed and then rotted on the whole rear edge.

that is very common place for rust through on our trucks, behind the wheel, water and junk splash up there and sit unless someone srills a drain hole and seals it. there are patch panels for that area, I use Classic Parts and have for 20+ years, reasonable prices and quality stuff, not an advertisement just saying.

Hub is the first and main concern since i dont have the money yet to upgrade to front disk,waiting for a few answers on a knuckle to drum assy used from a couple places,jack it up and it has the quick change wheel system on the front left right now until fixed,just slides right off the spindle shaft,cant even move it right now.
