What is wrong (or right) with this 66??
This is for sale in South Africa......
A right hand drive country. But look at the position of the rear bed. What else may be wrong or different with this truck. Said to be a 64-66 Seems to be a K model. How desirable, and useable are they?

Home made fleetside box.
It is not a 4x4 you can see trailing arms and there's no tube projecting from the front hubcap.

Front bumper looks out of sorts. It's twisted and the sides seem elongated.

Re: What is wrong (or right) with this 66??
the bed to me almost looks like a 58-59 with that emblem and wheel well opening, and how it doesn't quite fit....however there is no spear....

I know over seas they used some weird stuff, I believe it's homemade too.. Look at the chevy trucks from Brazil and you'll see what I mean...

Re: What is wrong (or right) with this 66??
Wish I could see the tailgate. It reminds me of the trucks they built/assembled in Mexico/Central America. Things were just a bit different on the beds.

Re: What is wrong (or right) with this 66??
Maybe its the angle the photo was taken or maybe its just me but the bed almost looks backwards. The shape of the arches seems off almost like they took the bed, flipped it 180 degrees and put it back on????

That is the way I remember the Central American made trucks.
