Sounds good. I will wait until my son is out of school for the Summer. Next Friday is his last day so maybe the Friday after that.

[wilbur46]

Buns and Burgers is usually a good turn out.
I'll be there this Friday too.
I'll be looking for c10s.

[mattbert56]

Wish I could make it this friday:/ I'm usually doing a shift at the department on fridays and Saturdays so whenever I can afford to I try to swing by the show.

No.. I live in SF. I will probably be moving in the near future and want to check out up north. I am kind of sick and tired of all the Hipsters messing up my city and the idiots that now live here. I am also tired of not having any room. My son is 12 and still in middle school.

[mattbert56]

Gotchya hah for some reason I thought I where in sr. Check out north if u like small towns. I work in cloverdale it's relatively a nice place. Geyserville. ect.

[Ghernandez66]

Nice thread man truck is looking good! I was noticing that there's a few members from around the area, do any of you guys know a place near by to find part for a 66 c10 I been trying to find a grill and tailgate for a while with no luck. Thanks and sorry to ask this in your thread mattbert56

[mattbert56]

Not a problem man. There's a junk yard up in cloverdale off of river road that I have heard good things about. Think his names earny. Or gerny. Not sure odd dude but a good guy. Other than that. Creams in sr next to burgis lumber I have had alot of luck with. And what kind of grill 66gmc? Or chevy. Steel aluminum?

[Ghernandez66]

Looking for a steel one so I can paint it.
I will try to get the name of the junk yard in cloverdale I have heard about it once before .it's for a chevy truck

[mattbert56]

He's supposed to be the guy to go to for square bodys. But Iv heard and seen 60-66 stuff there

[TJ's Chevy]

Steal ones are easy to come by. Your local craigslist would probably have tons posted.

[wilbur46]

The yard your looking for is Gerdes Wrecking . (707) 548-9437
It is in cloverdale. It is also on the interweb. Google Gerdes. There is a map.
Gary is easy to deal with, but the yard is pretty picked over.
There is at least 1 aluminum grill, with bezels, but banged up. It is way out back.
No tailgates seen this week, but you should call. Gary knows what he has.

Along the same lines of looking for stuff, I need long bed trim , 1 front fender spear, 67-72 fleetside bumper/brackets (paint ok ), and any 4 or 5" rear springs.
A pile of original steering column parts would be nice too.
I don't buy stuff from catalogs.
Good luck, W

[Chevy Fleetside]

I have a grill. I will look at it sunday and make sure it is not dented.

[Ghernandez66]

Thanks for the help guys

I have a clean original 64-66 when I last checked it had no damage, complete with headlights. It has surface rust and some primer on it...If any of the above don't pan out.
I paid $125 for it thinking I would use it but now it hangs on the wall...Joe

Its getting pricey up here but between Matt and myself we can point you in the right direction.

[mattbert56]

Well been a little while. But the truck runs great! Still need o bolt bed down instead of using vice grips.... and straighten out the body lines. But mainly I enjoy driving it again. Also needs mufflers. But driver her just about 10 miles today to deliver some goods to a find on the far side if town and back to a market on my way home. Snapped a pic and realized thatthe truck sits a little rear high. I like the look. Little rake. Also painted my shift boot rings. One factory. One not. And put down 3 layers of foam insulation on the floor. To deaden the sound. And holy cow it makes a big difference! !!! Pictures to follow in next post.

[mattbert56]

Pictures I promised

[TJ's Chevy]

Awesome! Your making me miss my 66! haha. Ya might be surprised what happened to it. Put some super 10's on that thing and call it good.
