Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Update: Been cleaning on front suspension. Chipping away at 50+ years of dirt, grease, and road tar. So far have 1/2 of a 5 gallon bucket filled up. Front drums still have the rivets, never been off of the truck. Once clean going to undercoat and paint, brake job, brake lines , and shocks. Oh, and also have sourced a sway bar for the front end. Work continues.......

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Hey Tom. I should be back around Monday if you want to swing by and get the sway bar. If you need it before then, go on out and get it. It is in the bed of the blue 69 GMC. Thanks, Fred.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Been awhile since I updated: seems like all I do is mow grass every other day, we get 2-4 inches of rain a week here lately. Anyhow, I managed to finally make some noticeable progress, got the engine bay and front suspension all cleaned up and painted, also got the sway bar I picked up ready to bolt up. Pics -

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
The condition of your truck reminds me of my 64 Chevelle 4dr. Just a very clean well preserved vehicle. If it was mine I would try to keep it as original as possible.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Switched gears, working on the engine. Power washed and stripped, still cleaning nooks and crannys. Going to install all new gaskets, oil pump, fuel pump, waterpump, etc.... It was interesting, when I pulled the oil pan, no gasket, but probably a whole tube a silicone. Inside of motor looked good, not much crud and cylinder walls looked good to. Some oil running down the valves but I can live with that for now

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Nice work! Engine does look good from my point of view. New gaskets and some paint with a turbo and you'll be all set.
