Looking At A '66

[special-K]

I stopped to look at a '66 SWB Stepside yesterday. No one around and the for sale sign just had a number and "call for details". Left a message and waiting for a call back. I guess I've seen it before but wasn't too excited because my standards are high. It has sat all winter now and still there and you know how spring can affect a person. I'm dreamin' and hopin' they will be realistic on this one. The (historic) tag expired in Oct. Didn't have my camera, so no pictures yet. It's pretty original, a lt. blue/white top and trim 6cyl/3spd truck. Still has original wheels with orig. hubcaps on rear and baby moons on front. The hood is locked but I could see it's a 6 (figured that) looking under. The front fenders have the lower rear rust plenty bad and rockers rusted,too. The doors look decent and front lip of hood isn't awful...yet. No rust above the windshield. The seat still looks good. It's a local farm truck survivor, probably a barn find. The bed looks great on the outside and there's junk in it, so probably plywood under that. I'm thinking, if by some rare chance this one isn't stupid money, I would get it on the running and do a few things. I have a Saginaw 4spd I could drop in and a pair of 8" steelies for the rear. I'll keep the 6 if it's healthy and play with that a little. Dual pipes for sure. I do have a healthy original '71 350, if need be. I just want something to run and depending what the owner wants, this could be it. i'll get by with my camera for pictures. Nothing great, just what I want
