My wifes dads truck

[Old Truck Man]

My wife has the 1966 3/4 truck hed dad bought new in Dec 1965. It is a 292 engine granny low four speed with 456 gears. Its all original paint everything except for the wheels & rims. it originally had 17.5 in wheels. It now has 16,s. Any road its pretty much rust free. amazing for a truck that was bought new and spent its first 8 years in Rockford ill. The heater must take the cold air from the cowl vent and runt it through the core . With a 160 degree thermostat it was marginal. So it wasn't driven in winter and avoided the salt. A few years before he died of cancer Debbies father gifted her with the truck. It was her daily driver until gasoline went past $4 per gallon. So she parked it and went to driving a 65 1/2 ton with a six three speed and 270 rear gears. Any way here are some pictures of it today. Later today When my wife returns home She will post a few scanned pictures of the truck and her and her little sister when the truck was brand new.
