We have quite a few of the 60 thru 66 trucks. One a 66 3/4 belongs to Debbie. It was a gift from Her Daddy. He bought it brand new in December of 1965.
Yes I remember that video about Debbie's truck and the story of how she got it! Very interesting video! Good to hear from you my friend and tell Miss Debbie that we said, Hey!
Niiiiiiiiiiice truck PIB! Amazing the number of GM gear-heads there are out there huh? It's 57 years old and it will probably run for another 57 years. Thanks for the upload Buddy!
It's so cool to meet others who share our love for these old trucks! I used to have '60, '62, '63 and '66 model's, all of them rollers but I had big plans of doing LS swaps in them. They were all in great shape, mostly complete, minimal rust etc. I shopped around for a 5.3 with 4L60e and found one through a buddy so I bought it. I must have been at the right place at the right time to acquire all those trucks because i bought them all from different locations within the span of a years time and my son used to joke about how if I kept it up before too long I'd have my "very own junkyard"! Well, to make the long story short, I began to realize that although I really liked all those trucks I actually preferred the 67-72 and the 73-87 model's so I changed my mind and sold them faster than I bought them. In less than 3 months they were all gone because I kept getting offers I couldn't refuse! I learned a lot about them while I had them and if i were to offer any advise it would be to get that gas tank out from behind the seat and go with an external fuel cell. You'll feel better freeing up space behind the seat for extra storage or a speaker box and you'll be safer not having a tank full of flammable, combustible liquid a mere 3" from your rear end!
That is a good point about the gas tank. I used to do that on my 57 Chevy trucks when I had them. Hopefully I can get that done that way as well on the 66. Don't worry about changing your mind about trucks, as I have changed my mind about years of trucks that I like many times! Lol. Good to hear from you my friend! Thanks!
What makes that pickup & yours unique is 66 was the last year for that body design & the first year for reverse lights. Amazing to see that one there in the parking lot because you don't see many around anymore.
No coincidences here, Jimmy. It's according to what was already in your mind weeks ago. That said, you have a 66 with incredible potential. Maybe you can look around one of your classic Chevy forums for even more ideas. This guy you met is probably on such a message board as such. :)
Good morning, Jimmy. Your new friend sure has a sweet ride there. He had a lot of good ideas on what to do to his truck. I know you will bring yours into the patina style of your flavor. I'll be glad when you get it home so you can play with it. You and Mrs. PIB have an enjoyable day and God bless .
Good afternoon my friend! Yes my friend has a lot of great ideas and I am hoping that he might uave some parts that I might can use as well! Looking forward to getting my 66 home too! It will be so much fun! Thanks again my friend for your comment!
Good morning Jimmy and mrs. Pib that's a very nice looking at 66 Chevy truck Jimmy you can make yours look just that good or better I'll give you an a I will give you a tech tip do not put a wooden bed and your 66 truck they are nothing but trouble go with a metal bed if you keep a wooden bed out of the weather they are great😅 can't wait to watch you start working on it Jimmy you and mrs. Pib have a blessed day
I put pressure treated decking in mine 23 years ago and now it’s got that barn wood look that I dig but mine is always been just a beat up ol hotrod hauler
I think that is what I had in my 1969 Chevy C10 truck "Cash" years ago. It worked out great! It was just a "Beater" too! Those are the best in my opinion! Lol. Thanks buddy for your comment!
I agree! And the gentleman who owns the truck was super nice as well! I just wish that the phone would have done better and not messed up so much! Thanks buddy for your comment!
brand news small block engine, really nice interior and acceptable color paint....now time to change some wheels and slam it to ground to make it look sick....
0:42 Ha! He's not sure if an old man that talks to himself has escaped the local senior home, or if he should knock the phone outta your hand and tell you to stop filming other folks' vehicles without their permission. 😆
He told me that he is still working on it. So I am assuming that after it gets painted, that the new wheels and tires will be next! Thanks buddy for your comment!
@@primeredisbest & whenever I hear those good o classic Johnny Cash songs, they remind me of cabover semis which are those flat nose semis & those things were the king of the roads back in those days. Good times😎👍

Yes it is truly amazing! Good folks! Yes 57 years and counting! Lol. Thanks for your comment my friend! Much appreciated!
Very nice truck Jimmy,with lots and lots of money yours can be that nice too
Lol. And there lays the problem....lots of money! Lol.
Sweet ride! Really bang-up job all the way around.
But it sure needs 8" Rallys with some meaty tires instead of those dinky 7" and small tires.
I'd say that he is going to do that after the paint jib. Thanks
Beautiful looking truck.
I agree with you! Thanks buddy!

That is true! Not many around here anymore! Thanks!

Yes I guess that you are right! It's funny how things work out sometimes! Lol. Thanks buddy for your comment!

Thanks buddy! I can always use a good tip!
If keeping it squirreled away and rarely driving the the truck is good for a wooden bed, then Jimmy is unquestionably the perfect candidate.

I'm staying with a long bed looking at that,looks to short a bed😅
Good deal buddy!
66’s look so good
I agree! Thanks buddy for your comment!
Man I wish I still had the side cab chrome window Sails for 60to66 id send them to you. But I gave them to a friend.
Oh that's fine my friend! And it's great that you gave them to a good friend! The thought is most important to me! You're the best my friend! Thanks!
Super nice truck!
I agree! And the gentleman who owns the truck was super nice as well! I just wish that the phone would have done better and not messed up so much! Thanks buddy for your comment!

I agree with you on everything you have said buddy! Thank you!
0:42 Ha! He's not sure if an old man that talks to himself has escaped the local senior home, or if he should knock the phone outta your hand and tell you to stop filming other folks' vehicles without their permission. 😆
All of that true except that I always ask permission before I video someone personal vehicle. Thanks!
Nice truck!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment my friend!
Thats just a Honey of a truck!!!😎😎 I like everything about it, but if it was mine, I'd put some slightly wider tires on. Very attention grabbing!!!😎😎
And a cowl hood.
He told me that he is still working on it. So I am assuming that after it gets painted, that the new wheels and tires will be next! Thanks buddy for your comment!
The Custom trim level was the Silverado of the 60s.
Yes that's right my friend!

Yes they were good times!
