well optioned 66 GMC with buckets on ebay

3/4 ton long bed, 351, power steering, power brakes and tach.

The item number is 181652845097

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181652845097...097%26_rdc%3D1

This is not mine but would be nice. Maybe someone could post pictures or the page snapshots before it disappears. I would do it but I'm using my phone.

Re: well optioned 66 GMC with buckets on ebay

This truck proves the saying " you can't judge a book by the cover". A truck with painted grill and bumper ( most judge as a low buck truck ) has power steering, power brakes, big block and factory bucket seats. This vehicle was carefully selected for a specific purpose by its original owner, my educated guess: hauling a camper across the U.S.

Re: well optioned 66 GMC with buckets on ebay

Is the tach really a factory? To me it looks like some one just put a Sun tach in the dash but I am no gmc expert by any means. I am not criticizing just curious

The tach is correct. It was installed incorrectly but that is it. You can tell by the font and shade of green. It is a sun tach.

not all anyway Jon. think Hilander had the suspension rear mounts on his camper special.
maybe they started out on the line as chevys and matured into GMC's before they got out of the plant!!

Yes, American built 3/4 ton GMC's had the more solid 1/2 ton type, not sure about Canadian built 3/4 ton GMC's. There was a time in history when GMC's had a little more to offer than just a different nameplate.
