Very Cool! Thank you!
Many here have stated that a full documentation is in order. I absolutely agree. However, I totally understand that in order to do that truck justice, the effort on your part will be significant.
I also own a time-capsule type truck and just don't seem to make the time to get that particular documentaion job done.
One thing that holds it up for me is a proper detailing beforehand. The details we are all after here don't necessarily stand out so well under decades of dust. It might be a little easier for you since your truck actually did not see any use.
Another thing that some here might not realize is those details are often less than pretty. 1966 production line methods were NOT in any way similar to todays restoration methods. If it's perfection ya'll expect to see, my guess is you will be sadly disappointed when the pics roll in.
Whatever you decide, or however you do it, any info or pics you provide will be quickly gobbled up by the serious truck fans here. Just know that.
Thanks again!
