New forum member and new truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone, excited to join the forum and share my newly-purchased truck (1966 4x4). First project will be replacing the wood bed - eyeballing the Mar-K kit but might try building one. Looking forward to spending a lot of hours on here!

Good looking truck and looks like a great start to a new project. Any more pics of it?

yessir here's a couple more. it has a rebuilt 350 inside, disc brakes, and power steering. will be exploring some rust-proofing options for the undercarriage this summer (rust bullet?), as the salt air here will likely eat it alive

The truck is beautiful. I'm digging the green and white combo. I intend to paint my 64 K10 John Deere Green with a white top and hope it turns out nearly as nice as yours.

Welcome aboard. Nice looking truck.
Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Welcome to the truck site, a lot of nice builds here and yours sure is a nice example, so clean, thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the site, that's a beautiful truck. Be sure to take some "before" pictures of the bed, so you can refer back to how much it's been improved after the new floor is in place.

Also, if your spotlight is inoperable you might find this thread helpful:

We looked into the Mar -k kits and decided to go a little different route. Got the information from the Mar-K site on dimensions and bought pine from a local lumber supplier. The wood only cost $55.00 cut it, etc. then after looking at the research Mar-K had done decided to finish the wood using POr-15 and then a UV inhibitied black paint. Spent the extra cash on polished stainless runners and bolts. Here is how it turned out.

first trial fit after cutting and before finishing:

very nice truck. Is that "the" gas tank in the bed or an extra one?

1963-4x4 · 05-06-2013, 04:00 PM

She sure is a purdy looking truck! I've never been a big fan of green trucks, but that shade looks great on your truck!
