My new 1966 "Wrong bed" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DAN66 · 02-14-2012, 05:55 PM

Here is my new 1966 C10 "Wrong bed" (Long Stepper). It's hard getting used to the long step but, maybe when it's dropped I'll feel different about it. Hoser (Jchav62) is going to school me on a 3/5 drop in the (hopefully) near future. It's got a 350, with a 4 speed, (soon to be a TH400) Thanks to Hoser (Jchav62)

We used to say "Two wrongs don't make a right" when we saw these trucks... because we are both fans of short/fleets... Now I have a longbed '67 and you have a long/step '66... how times change.

I can't wait to work on the truck and have some coldies in the process! I'm glad you're back in action bro!

Nice! Congrats on the new PEEKUP!!!

porter90 · 02-14-2012, 06:44 PM

hey! maybe I'm partial but I love the long steppers! I'm so used to seeing mine that now i think that short steps look awkward lol. That's a nice looking truck! hopefully some day mine will look that nice!

same here...love the long step more than the short steps. Then again I like oddballs. A long step is sort of an oddball that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Budman56 · 02-14-2012, 09:38 PM

I GOTTA SAY I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!

**Captainfab** · 02-15-2012, 02:05 AM

That's a very nice truck

I'd drive it.....

Woogeroo · 02-15-2012, 06:19 AM

a dropped long step... this should be interesting.

With jchav62 helping ya out, you will be in excellent hands.

Fleetsides and longbeds always looked more proportioned to me. Nothing wrong with that truck, looks good.

Rich 5150 69 · 02-15-2012, 09:57 AM

Excellant buy, you did great, it would be nice to see a dropped long ss, the only other thing I would change is the master cylinder to a dual master....welcome to the site.

1963c-10 · 02-15-2012, 09:59 AM

Great looking truck, very clean

J.Cagle · 02-15-2012, 06:21 PM

Love it! I have a long stepper too. I just recently decided to leave the bed and not swap it to a long fleet. I mean, how many long steppers do you see on the road anymore?? lol

punk17 · 02-15-2012, 08:16 PM

Good looking truck, are the wheels Crome buggies with a center cap, don't change a thing!

I would trade my long Fleetside bed for a long stepper in a heart beat.

purzell · 02-15-2012, 11:33 PM

I have one too (extra long bed) but it sure doesn't look that good. The carpet! The body! Nobody used that truck too hard that's for sure. Or if there is a build I would like to see it. Very nice.

DAN66 · 03-29-2012, 05:29 PM

Thanks to Jchav62, my truck got an

altitude adjustment!

Woogeroo · 03-29-2012, 05:35 PM

more pics.... please.

creep · 03-29-2012, 05:38 PM

I like it! Long steppers aren't too common. It would be cool to put something in the step area like an old gas can or something like that.

65panelrat · 03-29-2012, 05:41 PM

Looks Sick Ese! Now just put some blades underneath and you can mow the grass!

"El Jalapeno 66" · 03-30-2012, 01:32 AM

i dont have more pics of my 66 long bed stepside but this will help, i really love my truck, like more long bed stepsides than fleets

nice truck DAN66 Congrats

jchav62 · 03-30-2012, 11:38 AM

Looking good Dan... Can't wait to see it with the steelies and white stripes...

This is how it looks where the cool kids park at our work...

lee64 · 03-31-2012, 12:11 AM

Nice. Question. I have the same bumper on my 64. A friend told me that he thought it was an option for the ones that came with a DUMP bed. Is that right? From what I see mine is the same. Gor pics of from the back?
