Runs and drives but needs the front end fixed. Grill, bumper etc. Not sure why they cut the rear bumper off like that.

This one looks like a keeper.
Except for the seat and antenna, looks fairly original too.

Thanks. I agree on both - seat and antenna.

I'd also love to fix that front end and those bumpers.

Not sure if it's doable. It was hit pretty good.

That's a very nice looking truck... of course it looks a lot like mine! I think you'll enjoy this one a lot more than your old '63.

Thanks. I'm sure I will. That 63 was disappointing from the start.

The best part is the 66 was cheaper!!

Good things come to those who spend all night looking for it online!!

I was thinking it looks a lot like mine.


All looks repairable from the photos. Hardest part being the left bumper mount. Unless there's something we can't see.

I know where there is a good 66 grill. I picked up a set of stainless 3/4 ton wheel covers yesterday. Same guy has the grill. He is in San Anselmo, Ca. .
