New guy here... '66 GMC 4x4 Rescue 'burb

[giftshopduane]

Just joined because I picked this one up today... my first truck was a 62 stepside, I sold it years ago and have wanted a mid 60's GM truck ever since. I was looking for trucks today for a project at work and came across this beast. It had lived most of it's life on a nearby Army base, I haven't any other history other than that. It could have started as a forest service vehicle or whatever? Hopefully over time I will find out.

It's mostly solid, there are a couple of holes, but virtually rot free. The paint as you can see is peeling and there is just surface rust under it. I was expecting a disaster when I showed up, but I am more than thrilled at the overall condition.

It has under 12,000 documented original miles!!

Paid $500, not bad.. Enjoy the pics I'll keep everyone updated on the progress.

Thanks for letting me join.
