Well I bought another one
5 Attachment(s)
Bought this 66 back in February early March . Was planning to go down to Sacramento in April and trailer it back home but with covid and borders closing I finally decided to get it shipped up as the border doesn’t look like it’s going to open anything soon.
I hate buying things over the net but this truck looked really solid from all the pics and a big back window, short fleet plus the colour I really like I couldn’t pass it up. Other words I really got sucked in 🤦*♂️ It’s all there pretty much , 283 4 speed. Motor did run before being parked. I should have it in 2-3 weeks hopefully. Here’s a few pics |

Nice! Going to drive as is, or are you going to give it a fancy paint job?

Finally got my truck home early last week and got to clean it up and get it running. Was last registered in 91 spent its life in Sacramento as a farm/ranch truck and Chico CA looks like. I found some registration papers in glove box from 91
I was alittle stressed wandering how solid cab metal was as guy didn’t go out of his way to take many pics for me but was pleased to find floor and cab mounts etc are very solid and there is hardly any rust down low �� Gave her a good cleaning, through a hei distributer in for time being and she fired right up pretty much. Found a rusted out frost plug shorty after running it then after that found a leaking head gasket. Clutch was seized up and broke it free and was driving it alittle by my shop . Found most of the build sheet under the seat and truck has quite a few options. Power assist steering , sway bar, custom comfort option there’s a few codes I’m still trying to figure out from the build sheet . The ac system looks to be maybe installed by gm afterwards. The holes in the rad support and in the firewall look to be factory punched out holes . Not sure looks like it has a smog pump on engine too. Anyways here’s a few more pics of her. The plan is to pull engine fix a few odds and ends brakes etc and drive it . It’s a pretty original truck I have two others with ls engines turbo etc but this one is too original and unmolested and it’s going to stay that way. |

Nice find! Original issue '66 California black plates ( note starts with U ). Sacramento has a very dry climate, appears to only have the typical Calif. water retention damage from clogged drainage holes. That steering wheel is missing a lot of paint, will look nice when the wheel color matches the column color! Interesting it was ordered with a 4 speed instead of a 3 speed or auto.

Thanks guys! Was a big gamble buying it site unseen and costly getting it up here but it all worked out 😁
Here’s a pic of the farm info on tailgate |

Very nice condition, along with great color. Agree it will look outstanding as an original truck.
Member 60-66 can likely tell you more about the A/C. It has a 3 row radiator. Does it have shoulder belts? |

I just realized your in AB. I actually grew up in Sacramento, CA and I used to date a girl from Medicine Hat. One time we drove up to Edmonton to see her brother....that stretch of 1 has to be the longest, straightest road I’ve ever seen. I thought I was trapped and it would never end! Hahaha
