Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 11-21-2013, 11:23 PM

Here we go..... Tuesday 4:30 PM I'm minding my own business sitting on the toilet doing a crossword puzzle, the doorbell rings, it's my neighbor from down the street that I have never spoken to in the last 12 years that I have lived here but we always wave to each other,

I open my door and he says that he owns a used car dealership and some people came in stating that they just inherited a 66' Chevy pick up from their late father's estate and was he interested in purchasing it? He said no....but he said he knew someone that might be....

I think you get the picture, 30 minutes later I'm sealing the deal and Wednesday at 4:30 I'm driving home this stock 1 owner rustfree 66' short fleet which sports a 292 6cyl and a powerglide. It's funny how this truck looks like a cleaned up version of my concrete truck.

Yes, that's a spotlight on top.
