I know I should simply wait until I have the truck delivered but I have a quandry and knowledge IS power after all.
I recently purchased a 1966 four wheel drive from pictures. I trust the guy to tell me the truth about the truck. He says he did a VIN decode and found out the engine was original to the truck but it has a V-6 and four on the floor. He said that all the rusty spots had been cut out and panels welded in by a proffessional body man. As far as I can tell the Chevrolets in 66 did not come with a V-6. So all I can figure is that this truck is a GMC with a 305 that has been put back together with chevy body parts. Sound feasable? Obviously a truck of this nature has little collector value, which is fine with me because I do not want to restore it. I want to drive it. The only thing I can't fathom is why anyone would want to take a GMC and turn it into a Chevrolet. Are they worth more that way? I'm getting a truck with a fantastic body for $2000 so it's not going to bother me any.
