1966 Chevrolet Other Pickups Additional Info:
Well this truck I thought I would never part with. I found it at a junkyard in MO. Two brothers could not stand to see the other have it after their father (owner) passed away. It was sold to me as parts...so no title. It has original 26,000 miles. The seat even looks unused. I dismantled it to do a frame off restore but money got tight. I do have all the new body trim, new wood floor boards (oak) and stainless rails for the bed. Also has new tires on it. I have driven it decades ago and the little 283 is just a crisp as it can be. So the frame and running gear are still assembled, the cab is off, the bed is off and dismantled. All parts are all present. It may seem like a lot of money but when you consider putting about $10K into this truck to finish it, it will end up at Barrett Jackson or somewhere and double your money. Who would have thought there was a truck 53 years old with this few miles. I have had it stored in my barn for over 30 years. Be one of a very few that could start a rebuild with a gem like this! I will post more photos later.
