Be nice to strangers! 1966' short fleet
I'll make this story short.....
 While attending an auto swapmeet yesterday, a guy comes up to me and sparks up a conversation about old Chevy trucks, after a couple of minutes of our chit-chat going back and forth he states that had he just picked up a super clean mostly stock 66' shorty about 3 weeks ago after searching for a very long time, but a week after he purchased it he gets the opportunity to buy a 71' short fleet that a friend of his owns and tells him he'll give him a great deal, so he buys that one too, now he doesn't have the room for two trucks,  that's where I come in. I think you know the rest......A 1966 Chevy, mostly unmolested, factory paint, 283/3spd. Enjoy the ride!

The King strikes again! Great catch. It has the smog setup too. Haven't seen too many of those

Re: Be nice to strangers! 1966' short fleet
Thanks sooooo much guys! I can't believe the overall condition of this truck, and...yes, they really are getting harder to find, (even for me) the former 3 week owner
a real cool guy even threw in a correct "real McCoy" rear chrome sport bumper and brackets that he just traded for the "Bardon bumper" that was on the truck originally, and that went on last night!!!! Now time to go clean it up and change a few things.  More pic's will following after I put the stock wheels back on!

Re: Be nice to strangers! 1966' short fleet
I was wondering where the updated pics were... you have had the truck for 24 hours already.

Those who have prospered and profited from life's lottery have a moral obligation to share their good fortune.

but luckily I'm like a little kid when it comes to old Chevies. So here we go........ .....Unfortunately, I only had one stock 66' chrome cap, so I had to use what I had. I think it still looks ok. Where's Keith "Lowlife 99"?  Keith knows what I'm thinking with the 63' grill!
