A New Truck in the House

[Chuck73080]

I've been observing here while I searched for my "Retirement Truck". I sold my Kenworth when I retired two years ago, and told my wife I wanted to buy an old truck just to haul trash to the dump and bring home lumber and such.

Truth be told I hanker to make a "Truck Dog" out of my best friend.

Anyway, I was looking for a '72 C20 Camper Special, when I ran across this '66 LWB C30 10,000 GVW dually. It was painted 5 years ago by 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks in Kansas City KS. While it was being painted he went home and built the steel bed for it.

The prior owners didn't drive it much because it only has 62,000 miles on it.

Here is a link to photos of the paint job.

Anyway, Tony from 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks is going to pick it up and go through it before I bring it home to Oklahoma.

There are many things to do, but first is to swap the 5.14 rear end for a 3.54 Dana Posi.

I want to keep it stock in appearance, but I plan more power, A/C, PS, dual master cylinder, Tach, Uphol., frame mounted fuel tanks and toolbox/bomb removal.

I'll get a photo hosting site set up so I can post progress.
