No.. I live in SF. I will probably be moving in the near future and want to check out up north. I am kind of sick and tired of all the Hipsters messing up my city and the idiots that now live here. I am also tired of not having any room. My son is 12 and still in middle school.

[mattbert56]

Wish I could make it this friday:/ I'm usually doing a shift at the department on fridays and Saturdays so whenever I can afford to I try to swing by the show.

[mattbert56]

Gotchya hah for some reason I thought I where in sr. Check out north if u like small towns. I work in cloverdale it's relatively a nice place. Geyserville. ect.

[mattbert56]

Not a problem man. There's a junk yard up in cloverdale off of river road that I have heard good things about. Think his names earny. Or gerny. Not sure odd dude but a good guy. Other than that. Creams in sr next to burgis lumber I have had alot of luck with. And what kind of grill 66gmc? Or chevy. Steel aluminum?

[Ghernandez66]

I have a clean original 64-66 when I last checked it had no damage, complete with headlights. It has surface rust and some primer on it...If any of the above don't pan out.
I paid $125 for it thinking I would use it but now it hangs on the wall...Joe

[mattbert56]

He's supposed to be the guy to go to for square bodys. But Iv heard and seen 60-66 stuff there

Steal ones are easy to come by. Your local craigslist would probably have tons posted.

[wilbur46]

The yard your looking for is Gerdes Wrecking . (707) 548-9437
It is in cloverdale. It is also on the interweb. Google Gerdes. There is a map.
Gary is easy to deal with, but the yard is pretty picked over.
There is at least 1 aluminum grill, with bezels, but banged up. It is way out back.
No tailgates seen this week, but you should call. Gary knows what he has.

Along the same lines of looking for stuff, I need long bed trim , 1 front fender spear, 67-72 fleetside bumper/brackets (paint ok ), and any 4 or 5" rear springs.
A pile of original steering column parts would be nice too.
I don't buy stuff from catalogs.
Good luck, W

I have a grill. I will look at it sunday and make sure it is not dented.

[mattbert56]

Well been a little while. But the truck runs great! Still need o bolt bed down instead of using vice grips.... and straighten out the body lines. But mainly I enjoy driving it again. Also needs mufflers. But driver her just about 10 miles today to deliver some goods to a find on the far side if town and back to a market on my way home. Snapped a pic and realized thatthe truck sits a little rear high. I like the look. Little rake. Also painted my shift boot rings. One factory. One not. And put down 3 layers of foam insulation on the floor. To deaden the sound. And holy cow it makes a big difference! !!! Pictures to follow in next post.

[mattbert56]

Pictures I promised

[TJ's Chevy]

Awesome! Your making me miss my 66! haha. Ya might be surprised what happened to it. Put some super 10's on that thing and call it good.

[60sIron]

Looks good Matt!

[61K10]

I would think floor insulation would help some without mufflers lol! I have 2 turbo's used out back if you want them. tk does look good and my skinny rims will be here next week.

Sounds good kimble I'll be up by Ur place fishing sunday mornin with a buddy. I'll swing by after wards. How's the trans going get her back in yet?

[mattbert56]

A while ago I had a buddy get this camper shell for his 71 f@%d. And I said to him if he ever was to get rid of it. Give me a hollar. Well he did just that. Planning on fining some 3" aluminum I beam from scrap yard and running it along the bed rails to bring the camper up to the same Height as the cab roof. But finally got the old school lookin camper I wanted forever. Now it's really shaping up for a camping rig. Also looks a . Tho I'm putting in my 4:11 4rd member and swapping the front axle for a Open knuckle dana 44 with 4:11s. Starting my junkyard hunting.
