i have one now....

[blazerkid]

just need to get it out
65/66 short box sbw 2wd no engine trans
other than Vin # is their a way to tell different between 65 and 66 from pics

[McCoyAZ]

A little bondo, some touch up paint here and there and she'll look good as new.

[ChrisDollins]

Good luck with that one. Take some more pics when you get it out. I don't think that is a 66 emblem, doesn't look like mine anyhow. And I thought 65's were on the cowl/hood extension panel.

[Reyals Bemus]

Goodness, you have quite the project on your hands! I admire your fortitude.

[TBONE1964]

64 - 66's are a little tough to tell apart. From the picture you posted, the fender emblem is from a 64. That does not mean that the fender was not changed as they interchange all the way back to 1960.

There are others that know more than I do about this but other than some trim, it is hard to say. What does the VIN say it is?

[TBONE1964]

The photo shows a 1964 fender emblem on the left and a 1966 on the right. 1965 emblems were on the fender extension and not the fender.

Vin numbers are on top frame rail next to motor mount left side, and on the side of the frame rail left side about the middle of the door.

Hey Blaze,

Free is good but like you said, north bay is alittle drive from Ottawa.. Did you come across this one for sale in Calabogie ? Just thought I drop you the link to it.. Not sure who's selling it but might be a decent truck..

cool...don't paint it just slap a small block in it and do burnouts for people in parking lots

[Clyde65]

so with the Canadian trucks, is the VIN somewhere different than the US trucks? the US trucks have them on the DS door jam in the middle up top.

[awbrown]

have chainsaw will travel... I would say that is a strip and scrap ,if the rust goes above the bottom door hinge then that is the point I say it is too much work to fix it ... But after you get 2 or 3 freebies and sell parts off them you may have enough money to buy a runner!!

[blazerkid]

thank for the help but once i get it out i'll fugureourt what i'am going to do with it
i was not looking to buy one but it was a family friends truck been park for 20 30 years

[Rich 5150 69]

Take lots of pics during aquistion, it will provide lots of comments on the this thread...

[blazerkid]

Some times it is hard to tell where the rust ends and the patina starts.

[61_FL_Apache]

IM always up for a challenge, but I think I would find another one. Keep this one for parts.

[blazerkid]

if and when i get it out what rims will fit the hubs

[aerotruk63]

If you`ve got your chainsaw out head over to Sudbury on the 69 where it intersects the 17 look on the tree`d stone mound beside the little house on the south western side of the road. 64-66 Suburban in the trees. I think every piece of glass has been broken and all the panels are dented and the roof was a disco floor during some bush party.

[GVDobler]

Some Turtle wax and you're all set. Looks like a hoot.

6 x 5 1/2 with 3-4" backspace on the rims. Can't be newer ones because backspace on later models would cause it to rub on everything.

[blazerkid]

thx not that trier is much for it to rub on

[joedoh]

i think when you yank on it, its going to be two trucks. heres hoping its not broken in the middle

[blazerkid]

and if it is blazer frame it

[jesseo]

looks like there is enough wood around it to finish the bed too. Good luck and welcome to the addiction.

[blazerkid]

thanks
