got the '66 on the road again

this past Saturday, got it all legal and in our names. pulled her out of the garage, cleaned her up and did some cruising. she ain't the prettiest, but we love her for many reasons. I sold my '90 k1500 to my bro-in-law, so this is my DD till i get a/c and power steering on it, then the wife will be taking it away from me
here are a couple pics

Re: got the '66 on the road again

That ROCKS Joe! Ain't nothing like being able to cruise around in an old truck. Mine was a Daily for about 3 years until I changed jobs and
I didn't think the ol' 250/3 spd/3.73 setup was very Interstate friendly. Loved every minute of driving the truck though. Can't wait to get it roadworthy again.
Keep up the good work!

Re: got the '66 on the road again

Thats always fun to fire 'em up and drive to work..........it wakes me up; and the neighbors too. I see you also have a boxican; sent by aliens to do his bidding I would assume...........thats what my 2 are here for!

Re: got the '66 on the road again

yeah man, that is Mitch, he is the greatest dog i have ever had. we have had him a few years, just found out recently there are lots of them out there and all the owners seem to really love them. Aliens, that is funny, and right on.
got any pics of yours?
oh, check Mitch out stalking a squirrel
linky
the first 4 pics are him hiding behind a tree trying to sneak up on some pesky squirrels, the rest are from when we lived in Alaska

Re: got the '66 on the road again

I have not painted mine because my wife or daughter would be gone in it all the time.

Smile Re: got the '66 on the road again

Here are my two boneheads opening x-mas presents........they like to ride in the suburban..........they both stare at the floor in back when the Flowmasters perk up on acceleration.

I seriously think they are aliens........and I am their personal waiter.

Re: got the '66 on the road again

good looking dogs!
man that is so funny, mitch does the same thing, give the '66 some gas and he is looking down trying to figure out the noise he is so curious, he will look over my shoulder and watch everything I do, I have told the wife i am convinced he is gather info until one day, when the time is right, he will take over the world never thought about the alien thing, it is very true i am amazed daily how intelligent he is
