New Guy or FNG! 1966 Pulling off boards in bed WOW!

[66chevy43]

New guy here and I have a 1966 fleetside long bed.

350 GM crate motor......soon to replace with 454 well maybe not to soon.
6 lug wheels................soon to replace with 5 lug
700R4....................... nice to have over drive.
12 bolt rear end......... going to rebuild.

First off I must say this...I have a lot of respect for anyone who has restored a vehicle because pulling this bed off is time consumer. Its not helping that it has a spray in bed liner that is thick and on top of the rusted bolts. The things you do to save a few dollars. I'm trying to save my bed strips so spending hours and hours of work to save $50 story of my life but I'm having a blast working on it.

anyway just checking in.

Ohhh Winchester Bay we make it over that area every so often. Great Place!

Yeah Major PIA and if I wasn't so cheap I would cut them out but Im learning about my truck and taking my sweet time. I live about ten minutes out of Corvallis.

Back to work on the truck. Will post some pics soon after I figure how.
