'66 SB Fleetside BBW "Lucky"

[silvertonguedevil]

Well, I'm back in the saddle again! I took a little break and haven't had an old Chevy pickup for about 6 years or so. My wife and I recently got into the whole vintage camp trailer scene and it didn't take long for me to carve out an excuse for needing something cool to pull our trailers (yes, that was plural. lol) around. I decided this time around that I had to have a '64-'66 BBW Short Fleet so that's what I started looking for. I didn't want to have to worry about someone else's shoddy work so I wanted an untouched clean slate. There were several I was bouncing back and forth on but this one won out just because of the price. It's a '66 that I bought today from a guy in Oklahoma. I will be having it shipped out to me here in Oregon and will be using this as my build thread. It will be undergoing a total nut-and-bolt rebuild. I decided to call it "Lucky" because the guy that was selling it said if it didn't sell pretty soon, he was going to part it out.
