Re: CL ad for a '66?

A couple things jumped out at me:
The cab has been repainted INSIDE and out.
So pull up the rubber mat and look at the floors--which means looking at the rockers and the cab corners too. Look for signs of bondo or poor repairs.

Floors are easy, the rest is a little more involved and will add to the price.

It's still got the 6, so it wasn't hot-rodded or cobbled together mechanically... probably. Engine swaps frequently indicate other things you'll have to fix or address.

Thanks- I couldn't tell the cab was repainted from the pic- that's experience I don't have with these trucks. Agreed on not having been molested- unless its a pro, its all suspect.
