Junkyard find - 66 GMC 1 ton in Columbus, OH
Looking for 95 burb parts for my dad, I stumbled across a 66 GMC 1-ton?? shell at the pick n pull in columbus ohio on groveport road if anyone is looking for parts locally. it's fairly stripped down and has an inline 6 instead of the big block GMC V6 - either canadian truck, or not original engine,and sm 420 or 465 I would guess.
Very sad to see this one end up with this fate, as the chassis is real clean and all there, not rusty, had a real nice tubular steel flatbed with short stake sides and wood floor (for sale seperately now at entrance of yard). Floor pan was really rusted out, cab corners rusted out, but I snagged the fenders as they were almost totally rust free and mine are so full of bondo and flapping in the breeze down low from the inner bracing rotting. Someone had already stripped the intake/carb, exhaust, distributor and ignition off of it, as well as the bench seat and rear cab glass (small window). Engine had a fairly recent coat of paint on it even and some new gaskets. Worst part is that the junkyard forklift hauled the thing in a way that it CRUSHED in the rocker panels on both sides, along with the bottoms of both doors. Major bummer. Cab could be fixable, but what a shame! Vin # on tag by driver's feet was not readable, but rest of tag was. EDIT: pics uploaded. This is all I have, and I was pointing at the one side cowl panel to text to my friend to look and see if mine was dented or if my door was where the dent was, in case you wondered! Both of those are there still, mine was just scuffed but dent was in my door.
