I picked it up today. It was just too good of a deal to pass up!

$300 and 5 miles from the house. It is really not too bad off. Plans include of course some body work, and maybe a diesel....

rwolf9653 · 01-06-2010, 05:03 PM

By the way it is a 1966 with 52k.
Straight six, 4 speed manual.
It has been in a garage for 12 years, before that it was used to haul materials to a jobsite, then parked at the site until it needed to get materials for a new job.

Joemomma1 · 01-06-2010, 05:17 PM

I could definately use one of those bad boys right now. Helluva deal.

jonzcustomshop · 01-06-2010, 06:19 PM

those are the kind of deals I like looks like a nice one.

toms84ss · 01-06-2010, 07:10 PM

Nice score, what are your plans for it?

rwolf9653 · 01-06-2010, 07:50 PM

Thanks everybody!

First thing is to tear it down and find all of the "invisible rust". I know it needs rockers, cab corners, passenger inner fender, and the drivers side door bottom, but everything else looked pretty good on initial inspection.
As of right now I will just give the engine a good prime and some fresh gas and it will probably fire right up, but there may be a diesel in the future if I can find on at the right price. I will start a build thread when I get things moving. My father in law is pretty amped up about this truck so I am sure that he will help me out with the build (like he used to do when he was younger). He is so into it that my wife and I plan on giving it to him when the truck is done.

Sweet deal , gotta love a good old work truck! Welcome to this side of the board.

markeb01 · 01-06-2010, 09:33 PM

Nice truck, cool story. Gotta love a family project, no better way to keep the enthusiasm going.

**Captainfab** · 01-07-2010, 01:12 AM

Congrats on the new acquisition. Looks like it's in pretty decent shape. Keep us posted on your progress.

Powerstroke Diesel ??? (General side humor

Nope, no powerstroke! I have a neighbor that has has a 6.2 out of a CUCV sitting in his garage for a while, but first I would like to see how well the 292 does because the are kind of bulletproof.

Hilandr451 · 01-07-2010, 11:45 AM

Welcome to the brother hood Randy! Nice find! I ran a 292 / 3 on the tree in my '73 C20 longbed step side - what a motor! Great hauler!

2manyprojects · 01-07-2010, 06:10 PM

Cool truck, my 65 C30 has a 292 4spd. I drove it a few miles when I moved. Don't expect to go fast, but it'll haul anything you want to. Mine is currently being used as a parking deck for my 68 Mustang, and I cant even tell it's on there when I move it around.

*LILRED66* · 01-08-2010, 11:02 PM

I love it...I love it...I love it.

Here are some photos of my friends '62 Chevy C10 with a 4 cyl. diesel in it.

Mad Max · 01-09-2010, 12:15 AM

NOPE !!!!! you're not allowed to join....so you'll just have to sell it to me now!!
Always good to see another old vehicle saved.

Doug

**Captainfab** · 01-09-2010, 02:34 AM

That is a cool truck Tony. I saw just one pic of it a while back and have since wanted to know more about it. What trans is in it?

rwolf9653 · 01-09-2010, 01:22 PM

Thanks guys for all of the great comments!

I spent a couple of hours last night pulling plugs, draining old gas, and pre-lubing the motor. That truck fired right up after about 4 seconds of cranking!

I drove it around the yard (its a big yard) and that 292 runs awesome! The brakes are a little grabby, but I think that this is the first thing that I have brought home for under $500 that I could drive within a week! My fater in law is coming by tommorow to take it for a spin and let me know what he thinks.

You might be losing power with the 6.2 naturally asperated they are kind of lazy

Nice score on the C30

Find an anti drainback filter for it like a wix 51060 the application says 51061 but its not anti drain back
you also should run a CF-2 type oil in a flat tappit engine CF-4 if you need multi grade

My son (65gmc630) has a similar toy

Thanks for the good info. I really hadn't thought of it needing different oil.
