And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Really miss the 66, stolen twice, loved to large cabin, rode and handled like a dream. Swapped the factory 396 out for a 283 from a 65 Impala SS, a 4 bbl 283, changed the turbo 400 for a cast iron Muncie 4 speed, that 66 ran excellent and like 3 times better fuel milage, ran like a champ, took a bit, the 283 could pin the speedo and then some, a lot of then some. The 66 was pretty beefy, the frame was very stought. High quality Chevy all around, had a factory posi, air, power windows, even decent truck size brakes, (except for a single master cylinder, change that out for front disc brakes from a later junkyard SS Chevelle)
1959?
ReplyDeleteor 60.
Deletejust a guess but my nickel sez '59 - surfaces appear more rounded
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of lemons but the EL Camino was the worst, no wait the Vega wagon, no hold on the Datsun.....
ReplyDeletePersonally, I never owned one of these "trucks," but I preferred the El Camino to the Ford Ranchero.
