Thanks guys...... | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Did you get these #s off the id plateor the GVW plate? The vin plate should be on the left hand roof rail. From what I can decipher from the #s you gave is that it's a '66 2wd 1/2 ton 127" wheel base Fleetside, possibly black originally.

Have pics from another owner of the truck that shows it seafoam green.... any more information would be great....... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 15 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 15 | Bill just looked at your pics... tell me about your truck please the intake is it water heated ??? | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | No, the intake isn't heated, I have considered adding heat though. The truck itself is a '55 model 3200, 235 with 3 speed originally, now has an overdrive 3 speed. The engine is the original 235, bored .060", head milled about .010". It has a Howard M4F 3/4 race cam, Offy intake/Fenton exhaust combo, and Mallory ignition with a 3rli spark box/rev limiter. The carbs are Holley model 1904, originally from '56-66 International 1 1/2 ton trucks. I had to custom fab the linkage to make them work. Most of the rest is basicly stock, other than colors. I got lucky with some of the options, it had the rear bumper, turn signals, and heavy duty springs on it when I got it, the backup lamps were a lucky swap meet find, as was the trans.
There is a possibilty that Canadian trucks have some different codes from the US versions, my books only list the US numbers. Perhaps some of the 'Bolter from up North might be able to get some more accurate informaton for you.

1966 Chevrolet model 1534 engine 6cyl build sequence# 23100, not sure about the A but it might be trans type
Scotts Super Trucks in Alberta would likely know the codes
Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | An "A" code on a US truck would usually mean that it came from the Atlanta plant, not sure on a Canadian truck, could have been brought over, maybe?
