Newbie from the Caribbean project 66
First of all thanks for the inspiration for so many month lurking that made me want to start a 66 project build. I had a 72 C10 that I sold and forever regret. I found old Red in an actual Barn here in a mountainous area here in Puerto Rico. For months I was told there was a 66 in this farm but ever got around to connecting with the owner till a week ago. As you can see there is a lot to be done to say the least
 its has the original 6 cyl engine and the column shifter was eliminated for a floor one. It had been sitting hiding away for over 15 plus years, I put some fresh gasoline in, new battery, some coolant and drove 45 minutes to my house in San Juan, unreal, true testament to these trucks.

Re: Newbie from the Caribbean project 66
That truck is sweet! elcome to the board. Doesnt sound like youre going to need much help with her. All I would do is repaint the bed box semi gloss black, repaint the bumpers white, clean up the engine bay and find some period hubcaps , drive and enjoy. Congratulations!

Thanks! exactly as I thought, probably add cleaning up the engine bay, the rest as you said, and drive it as much as possible.

Re: Newbie from the Caribbean project 66
Welcome to the forum
It looks like someone has done something strange with the left front corner of the hood.
