Thanks for that bud. I thought they might work. For your effort I'll add this pic which is something I seen on facebook. Enjoy

Re: 60-66 Chevy Truck spotters thread.

Drove by this on the way home from Idaho last weekend, but Imageshack failed again and wouldn’t let me upload it until today, and then it was rotated upside down!

Here's a panel we parked next to a few days ago. It was gone by the time we got back to the truck:

Re: 60-66 Chevy Truck spotters thread.

OK, so this one counts the same as if I spotted 2 trucks together, right?
The Story: I always travel this one particular road in one direction, but today I was heading the opposite direction. The truck has been there the whole time, but I never saw it parked beside the building. The lesson in all of this? Take the road less traveled and see things you never noticed.
This looks like a 1964 double cab C50. Wow!

Re: 60-66 Chevy Truck spotters thread.

I've seen this 66 a few times on Hillcrest Ave in Antioch. The first time I didn't have a camera. The second is the first picture, I couldn't catch up so this is the best I could get. Then yesterday I ran across it again and finally got a better shot of it. When all the stars align I might be able to meet the owner. I wonder if he's a member here.
