Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Joe got sidetracked by a couple squarebodies. Now that he is up in Alaska, he's probably concentrating on staying warm

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Heck, our question is how did he end up up here in Alaska? Did he bring the '66 with him? Hope he can still work on it sometime and get it finished...

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Lol
Sorry guys!! Yes the '66 came up here with us. My oldest son and I spent a 3 week marathon Putting it back together and drive-able before our move up this past spring. I flat towed it from Oklahoma to Alaska with my lowered '82 CCSB. It will never leave the family as long as the wife and I own it.... Unfortunately, I don't have a garage up here. The poor thing is covered in 3+ feet of snow. We are hoping to find a place with a garage this next summer so maybe progress will resume... I'll try to get a pic of it in the daylight tomorrow.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Well, it still looks tough and neat under the snow... hopefully you find a place with a garage. It is great that you got it back together to bring up. Good luck with finding a place where you can work on it and hopefully get it all done. It is also great to find out that another Alaskan loves old trucks and such!

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
[QUOTE=joe231;5084953]Thanks man!!
I'm sure it ain't easy finding parts in you neck of the woods, eh? Nope, it sure isn't... shipping is high.. I tried to buy a '70 Chevy 4X4 with an inline 6 from a guy here in Akiak, but I can't talk his wife into selling it. Seems they bought it new and she doesn't want to give it up. Any parts that I have brought in have been expensive to do so. (and those were actually for trucks that I was working on for other people, I don't even have a truck (or car for that matter) here in Alaska at the present time.) I have to get my fix for old trucks and cars by going online.....LOL |

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Sadly a lot of the bone yards up here gave in to the Chinese crushers and this last summer they cleaned or thinned out their yards. One guy did not pay enough attention and the crushers got a limited Presidential edition Lincoln....
Luckily though some of the older guys held onto the popular classic rigs. One yard up here has at least 10 of the 60-66 trucks that I can scrounge from. Otherwise the only saving grace is the no-sales tax here in Fairbanks.
