Hello! Today we take the grand tour of this fine 1966 Chevy C10 longbed pickup. It features a 250 cubic inch straight 6, T-5 transmission and lots and lots of RUST! Let us know what you think we should do with this old relic. Should we attempt to restore it, or send it to the scrap heap?

You need to sell it to someone who'll appreciate it and has the skills to fix it well.

Exactly, someone who has the skills to attack the bodywork properly. Anyone knows someone? Preferably someone with extraordinary bondo skills

@coherantbliss3483 Жыл бұрын

He easily has the skills....maybe you haven't been watching his vids? He's much better at metal working/repairing then most other channels on YT. He's not a puppet and doesn't act or wear the clothes to "fit-in" with the crowd...another reason I like him. Too many social puppets out there these days...they don't know how to think for themselves plus they are afraid of what others will say....sad.

@@coherantbliss3483 Clickbait title gets dicey responses. The truck isn't in particularly bad shape. Around here they are rotted away. I'd do questionable things to find one that solid for a decent price. "Scrap metal"? Not in any rational mind, so let him sell it to someone who'll appreciate it.

@scottysgarage4393 It was for sale for the last 5 months with no takers. You and everyone else had the same chance to buy it that I did. If you appreciate these trucks that much then get off your keyboard and go out and buy one. They aren't getting any easier to find and they aren't getting cheaper.

My dad had a ‘66 Chevy Pickup that looked similar to this one. About the same color, blue/green with red primer. He bought it used in ‘68. It had a six cylinder with a three on the tree. The bed side rotted out, looked like someone shot it with buckshot, and the wooden floor of the bed rotted out too. He passed it on to my brother, who then passed it on to our brother in law.

My only disappointment is that it does not have more rust and rot because I enjoy watching your work so much. Having consulted several antique star charts I noticed that Saskatchewan is a very easy drive from the geographic middle of no where . You are to be commended for doing such a high quality of work under such primitive and isolated conditions. Being a faithful follower of the pro shaper channel I would recommend it to Scotty;s garage. especially if he enjoys working with Aluminum. Please carry on Mr. Carter

Having owned one that was similar to your '66 which I really liked, it would be fun to watch you work your magic on a truck most folks would probably say was beyond saving. Mine was a 283 V8 with "3 on the tree", but, like the 6 cylinder version, it was no hot rod. Still, it served me well in New Mexico, Southern California, suburban Chicago and back in So Cal when, in 1985, I traded it in for an El Camino.

I will be looking forward to seeing what you can do with that truck. I grew up on Vancouver Island, and as a kid in the 1970's was very much interested in cars and trucks. That era of GM trucks were only around ten years old at the time, and EVERY one of them sported rotted out front fenders and rockers. The rust bug found them exceptionally tasty, and the next generation of trucks were much better at lasting longer. My '69 CST/10 has been in regular use for the last 54 years. Then the square bodies arrived in '73 and those suckers rotted into oblivion in a very short time! The later ones were much better... Love the channel...
