1966 GMC 4wd 1/2 Ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**68350** · 07-10-2021, 07:57 PM

Picked this up today. 66 half ton 4wd GMC. V6 4 speed. Runs like a sewing machine. Anyone have a guess as to production number? I see roughly 1900 chevy’s were made in 66, so 4-500 GMCs? Has a cool dealer installed ac system too. Are the fenders for 60-66 chevy and gmc all the same? I have a chrome grille I bought many years ago I’m going to throw in it. Camper is trashed so its going to the dump. Be a fun summer project to tinker with

Very nice!

**MusicMan70** · 07-10-2021, 11:25 PM

Very nice complete and original! How is the bed condition? Tailgate looks perfect.

**cwcarpenter98** · 07-11-2021, 02:04 AM

Sweet find!

Bummer on the shell being trash, that's a cool look as is.

Yes, the fenders are the same, except of course where emblem placement is or isn't depending on the year of the fender

The only guy I know that has production number would be a member named yelmer, you might try to PM him.

The bed is really nice. I think the camper, air conditioning unit and radio were probably all done when new or very close to it. I got the camper out tonight and Im going to clean it up tomorrow. Ill post some photos then. Hoping I can get some of the paint off of the front half to expose the original paint underneath

**68350** · 07-11-2021, 11:22 PM

Here is a quick dusk photo

**68350** · 07-12-2021, 10:23 PM

Been working on getting some of the implement paint off and expose the original paint. Slow n steady wins the race lol

**68350** · 07-13-2021, 01:41 PM

More progress. Fenders, grille and bumper are getting replaced so not working on those areas

TJ's Chevy · 07-18-2021, 02:35 AM

That is an awesome find. Oddly enough being where I live here in the mountain areas I can't seem to find a good 4x4 of this era for nothing.

Good clean interior with original seat upholstry! Too bad somebody had to repaint the cab and wheels

**Corts60** · 07-18-2021, 08:37 PM

Sweet truck!

If the fenders are still good on the inside just repair the outside on those easy than replacement

Sadly theyre toasted on the inside brace too. I might just cut the fenders in half and use the reproduction cab half and use the nice original grille half to make a good fender for each side

Got some rallys thrown on. Looks so much better with the 33s
