Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Nice to see you poking away at your service truck.
I can't wait to see some paint on it.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Took it for a short run to the gas station.
Finally worked out the power disc brakes. It was as simple as adjusting the push rod to engage the booster sooner. It's a good day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Sorry for not being around lately and answering my Private Messages.
I've been blitzed with work and school. Please just ask your questions about the 14-bolt and front discs here in this thread. Chances are others can also lend their knowledge, and/or others can benefit if we post in a thread rather than Private Message.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
These are the last pictures I took of my 66 service truck.
Since I found my old 65, I pretty much stopped work on the 66 service truck. So after it just sat parked for close to a year, I decided to sell it. I mentioned it to my old business partner and long time friend. He bought it. I helped him run it out to his house last week. He's excited. It'll make a great work truck for him. He's a Carpenter. ![]() ![]()

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Man I like the service/utility bed trucks. I just missed one the other day, it got snatched up pretty quickly.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
I drew some house plans up for a long time good friend that I sold this truck to. Now he wants to give this truck back to me for drawing his plans.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Your's was one of the first threads I followed after discovering this forum..
Your service truck.. Then you got your truck back.. I've owned a dozen or more trucks in that time.. Keep on rocking.. You got the best luck of anyone I've ever seen.. 2 former trucks return to the nest.. Dude.. buy a lottery ticket.. ;-)

I kind of feel like I'm saving it. I don't plan on doing anything major but maybe clean it up and paint it orange. I'll keep the box white. Mechanically everything had been upgraded. Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, 14-Bolt, and a low mileage GM crate 350. Sometime this month we're supposed to see if we can start it.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Went by and looked at the 66 today.
I guess I should have expected it to be a little rough. A good pressure wash will help. I meant to get a picture. Here is a satellite pic from Google maps. He's got some wood stacked up on the bed.

I really don't need the 66, but I don't want to leave it out in the field of his property. I'll clean it back up and then put it up for sale so I can get me a 62-65 nova for a daily driver.
