'66 C-10 Long Step - my first truck build from the 90's

[Shaky]

Here's my '66 C-10 truck build from the early '90s. I learned a lot from doing this and would do some things differently (don't pick your color just from a color chip!) if I did it again. I also converted from V8/auto to L6/manual and wouldn't do that again. If it came auto, I keep it auto and vice versa now.

I'm amazed at how few pictures I have, but this was before digital cameras.

The first shot is after I purchased it. I saw it at a car show and it didn't have much rust for around here (it was an Arizona truck).

My buddy John and I got it ready for a cross-country trip. We put a shift kit in the ailing TH350 and a 3.07 rear from a '71 in the back. This meant I had 6-lug front and 5-lug rear. We carried two spares. Dig the custom interior.
