Picked up a 66 today....

Under the moss, mold, and leaves I found a very cool truck!
More pics in my gallery.. Before the first bath and after.. This 66 has a rebuilt I6 and a 4 speed, straight body, good glass, and the best part is that it was FREE!

Thanks! I love the price. First step is getting the brakes to work so I can check driveability.. I am hoping to rebuild systems (stock) one by one with my 7 year old, teach him the basics, and have a great truck for him when he gets a license.

Welcome Packrat! You will enjoy the world of Slicks. I have enjoyed your posts in the 48-60 forum. I am looking forward to having you here.There are so many upgrades available from late madel trucks, you may never go back to Effies! Congrats on such a good deal!

Not for Slicks such as it appears on above. FoMoCo trucks don't have roof racks as an OEM option that I am aware of.
