Pics of my new 66 rig...
I picked this truck up last week. Numbers matching original. Minor rust to repair. Pretty awesome. I gave the guy my wrecked F150 and $250 for this 66 and a real nice 85 SWB project with no motor or trans. I am gonna love this truck, just sitting in it makes my stress decrease.......

Re: Pics of my new 66 rig...
My Fiancee has fallen in love with this truck and has claimed it as hers haha. I consented but told her we can't do anything major to it until I finish my '69....
She wants to do a yellow and black scheme on it, anyone have pics of yellow trucks?

Re: Pics of my new 66 rig...
Looks like a good truck to work with
 And that '84 would be the perfect donor for a suspension and brake upgrade to the '66 I've never built an auto trans, but as protrash64 said cleanliness is a must. Good luck
