Pics of my new 66 rig...

I picked this truck up last week. Numbers matching original. Minor rust to repair. Pretty awesome. I gave the guy my wrecked F150 and $250 for this 66 and a real nice 85 SWB project with no motor or trans. I am gonna love this truck, just sitting in it makes my stress decrease.......

Old custom classic trucks have soul. Their dashboards aren't plastic, and they've survived both the best and worst of what the 20th century had to offer. For the owners of these trucks, it's often the same story. Through both good and bad times they persevered, until one day they could turn the key and roll up in a customized truck everyone with good taste would admire.Custom Classic Trucks

I believe that the big GMC v6's had the factory option of plaid valve covers.

Re: Pics of my new 66 rig...

My Fiancee has fallen in love with this truck and has claimed it as hers haha. I consented but told her we can't do anything major to it until I finish my '69....

She wants to do a yellow and black scheme on it, anyone have pics of yellow trucks?

Re: Pics of my new 66 rig...

Looks like a good truck to work with

And that '84 would be the perfect donor for a suspension and brake upgrade to the '66

I've never built an auto trans, but as protrash64 said cleanliness is a must. Good luck
