 Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:37 pm Post subject: Vermont Barn Find 2 |
 |
|
Yes, after waiting 9 years, and enduring 7 hours of "Chat" w/ a 82 year old crazy cat lady, I've scored VT. Barn find 2.
I had to pull all 4 hubs & remove the brakes to get it to roll, turned it 90 degrees & rolled it out of the barn by hand & floor jack, and got that Bitch home........
The Hub puller was really the key!!

The CLUE was A FAT CHICK that used to be parked out in her front yard, until last year. I drove by her house on the way to work on & off for seven years, dropping in, saying hi........... 
Interior is really clean
Page 6 of my Gallery has more body pics, when I looked at it the 2nd time in Jan.

That is unusual if it's a U.S. spec truck. |

Nope, I've had it for years, from the former Granite State Vw dealer.........
With out it, it would not have come home today, all 4 drums were seized ,27 years of sitting  ........
The PO had a Doublecab that was rear-ended twice, after the 2nd time the Insur. Co. found them this SC, the lady drove it once, then parked it.....
It has the under dash Gas heater.
The body is really straight & solid, needs a cross member & out rigger.
I'm pretty sure its a 1966, thats what all the #'s say.
I'm not a fan of the big back window, or different engine vents, but Chiggers can't be bozers........

You will appreciate the back window more when you are driving it. Looks a lot better from the drivers seat than standing outside. |
