My newly licensed son just spent his hard earned money on a '66 C-10 truck. Don't know much about anything we are getting into or the truck for that matter, but he loved it right of the bat, and we have been talking about doing this for some time and now here we are, hoping some of you can shed some light on both. The truck is a Timberliner model (from Seattle, Washington? according to the guy I bought it from who trailer it out here to Florida, and the name on the side of the truck)- it has a 327, manual transmission, original factory air, large back window...not sure what else to offer up about it, still figuring it out. Aside from some good rust, and the missing drivers window and regulator, it runs pretty well, and is still drivable, as long as its not raining (which happens oftern here). Looking forward to being part of the community and learning about our new (old) truck. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 738 | Welcome! Glad to hear of a father and son project coming up. Good luck!;-) | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 137 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 137 | Good Morning and Welcome, It sounds like you got a great starter project, even drivable. You shouldn't have any problems getting your questions answered here by these folks. I would hope you could make it to Daytona Speedway for Daytona Turkey Run on Thanksgiving weekend. Then you can see all sorts of trucks similar to yours. There are thousands for cars and truck at this show. I hope to see you sometime.I hope to be there on Saturday. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome to the Bolt. Sounds like you and your son are in for a neat experience and he will also never have to buy another truck! Just let us know what we can do to help. No question goes un=answered around here.....except maybe over the weekend when all the bolters are out enjoying their trucks  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18 | Thanks for the warm reception..the Turkey Run sounds like the perfect opportunity to get some great ideas. Looks like I know what we'll be doing for at least Saturday that weekend. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 | Lot's of good ideas and information on the Bolt. Turkey Run is just around the corner and if you would like to add your cell number to the Florida group, feel free to drop me a PM. With all the folks attending we've generated a small (but impressive) list of local truck enthusiasts who are planning to get together for a face-to-face.
Hope to see you there and welcome to the bolt!!
