This very cool 1966 GMC 1000 Custom Pickup is for sale in our
Louisville Showroom. This GMC sports a rugged engine. It is a 351
CID V6. As the owner explains it is essentially a 409 V8 with 2
less cylinder heads. The 351E V6 which was available from 1966 to
1968 in 1/2 to 1 ton trucks is essentially a Magnum engine, as it
has the big port heads and bigger manifolds. If you ever run into
some old magazine ads from 1966 it mentions the 351 Magnum engine
available as a high performance option. The 351's were available
both as Magnums and small port head 351C engines up to 1972.
Professionally rebuilt, this original V6 has less than 500 miles on
it. The Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission has also been
rebuilt. The truck has many new parts including exhaust,
alternator, battery, driveshaft, brake master cylinder, wheel
cylinders, brake lines, power steering, door seals, gas lines and a
new gas tank. The carburetor has also been rebuilt with new hoses
and belts. Mechanically speaking, this truck needs nothing and is
ready to work or cruise the local car scene. Aesthetically, the
truck also has many new pieces, to complement the new paint as
well. The new pieces include steel slotted wheels, body side
molding, and NOS trim pieces, NOS wood bed made of southern yellow
pine, headlights, and tail lights and back up lights. While the
owner states it not a show vehicle, it is a neat rarity that is
sure to strike up a conversation wherever it goes. The original
radio is not currently installed, but is available. $20000.00 has
been spent and receipts can be provided. If you're in need of a
truck to do some work, but want a classic with a bit of style, call
us soon before somebody else puts her to work or just shows the
ol'girl off. Options for this numbers matching 1966 GMC 1000 Custom
Pickup include; Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seat Belts, Radial
