I've frame-off restored a 66 Chevy 2wd panel with original 283 3speed w/OD and had a ton of fun, learned a bunch, and turned it into a Helms bakery truck.

I'm now working on a 66 Chevy 2wd panel with big block. Obviously, not original. Resto mod here we come.

There is a ton of info within this website - sometimes it just hard to locate.

I do know that the 64-66 panels had their own style of bucket seats. Real tough to find originals. And from what I have read, burb seating is just as tough.

With that, you might want to consider ONLY purchasing a truck that has complete seating if you're looking to do a full restoration.

Good luck on your endeavor.
