Re: Looking At A '66
This would have been the first fender flapper I bought. I have always gone for body condition over all else. I don't care if it has no motor & trans or if I have to bring my own wheels and steering wheel to guide it onto a trailer. But I saw this as a cool & casual DILLIGAF truck to make purr, with minimal timeless must have coolness added...wide rear wheels, dual exhaust, 4-on-the-floor, chrome cup tach on the dash, and maybe some other steering wheel (like metalflake blue or '60s car w/horn ring). It already has a while roll 'n' pleat seat! Make it look like it was like that for 40 years. I hear it now in my original unrestored '72 4wd... "You wanna sell that? If I had it I'd restore it and it would never see another day of work in it's life". That's when I say, "Hmmm, never thought about that". I built show trucks in the 80s-90s, been there done that. I see a truck I would never turn a body or bumper fastener on. Waaay too much moolah. Sorry truck, I tried to help you
