my 66......i love this site

markeb01 · 01-02-2010, 09:37 PM

Going through some old files I found this pic of a flatbed that was for sale in Idaho a few years ago. As I recall the body was pretty decent.

MountainGoat1966 · 01-10-2010, 12:32 AM

Ain't fancy, never was and never will be. But it has been a great work truck and has kept me alive for the 23 years I have been driving it. Best $250 I ever spent to buy a truck. 383 stroker, SM465 4 speed, 14 bolt corporate rear, posi front and rear. I guarantee the new trucks they make and sell nowdays won't last near as long.

Malibob I love the blue shot. Very artistic.

jgh64pkup · 01-10-2010, 03:56 AM

hey malibob the blue shot would have been better if the speed limit sign said 65

Strodder · 01-10-2010, 03:38 PM

Nice photography. Looks like you have a little leak.

Thanks to all for the compliments. As for the leak, it is gone. I was using the truck as a daily for some of the winter and the rad finally froze up on me and developed many leaks. It looked like a sprinkler/ steam bath the last drive. So needless to say I have a new one on its way. Cant wait to take more pics of it, it is fun to learn on.

murdoc · 01-10-2010, 03:41 PM

Heres my 65 barn find. it was owned by an older gentleman in the middle of nowhere, northern idaho. im the third owner. everythings original, im afraid to do much to it

Strodder · 01-10-2010, 03:48 PM

Congrats on the find. How much is too much?

mojakeke · 01-31-2010, 11:41 AM

HEY GUY'S, GOT MY TRUCK OUT FROM THE WEEDS AND IN TO THE PAVEMENT, HAHAHA, HERE ARE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES ON IT, ZA...........Z!!!!!!

murdoc · 01-10-2010, 04:11 PM

well, i dont wanna paint it or restore it just yet. i wanna restore it back to original, cuz frankly i think it deserves that, being as complete and well optioned as it is. i wanna do it right tho, so i will leave it as is till i can afford to do it right.

wing_runner · 01-20-2010, 04:16 PM

1st post! Here's a picture of my project that I just pulled out of the pasture over the weekend. The last registration was 1981. My father bought this truck back in the early 70's and was the first vehicle I learned to drive. I'm really looking forward to getting this truck back on the road. This site is great and I've really learned a lot reading through all the post and build threads. Hopefully, I'll get a thread going soon in the project section and will certainly be reaching out for advice on this build.

djracer · 01-10-2010, 09:21 PM

Murdoc that is a sweet find. You gotta love a big back window short fleet.

bubba327 · 01-11-2010, 01:05 AM

Hey Murdoc Nice truck.. That picture must have been taken on Industrial Rd in Nampa if that is the Crooks steel sign. Good to see another local truck!!

murdoc · 01-11-2010, 03:20 AM

thanks kevin and bubba for the compliments

Bubba, your absolutely right about the location. I work at microclean which is on industrial rd, right across from crooks steel.

I have been admiring your posts on your truck here on the forum, id love to see it in person sometime. we live so close it would be a sin not to!!

REDNOSE65 · 01-11-2010, 06:43 PM

That last picture looks like it blew up.

clelandracing · 01-14-2010, 08:49 PM

some more

jbgroby · 01-14-2010, 09:03 AM

Hey Murdoc,

I noticed that you have at least one really rare and hard to find option. The cast step side inserts. Those are on the rare side and if in good condition they go for a pretty penny. I have not decided to add the 2 that I have to my fleetside, scared to cut into the bed sides.

At first I think they were after market but then I saw where they were added to the Chevy options catalog, I think after 63ish? I've never seen them offered in a GMC options catalog.

If thats true then theres a ton of $$$ value trucks here in SoCal. I see them all the time for sale and or randomly driving the roads.

Pretty cool seeing all of your pics. Here's a picture of my '66 stepside project:
