I don't know if this counts as a "classic" truck but I recently bought a 1966 GMC half-ton. I was wondering if there were any good news-groups or other sources of information for this truck. Also, where would I find a repair manual.
Also, the truck-box has wooden planks. I am wondering what kind of wood was used in these trucks.
Thanks.
Brian.

On my '57 Fargo I replaced with Douglas Fir. Friend used Oak on his Cameo.
There are a ton of suppliers for your truck. My favorite is Chevyduty.com. I have a 61. I have bought lots of stuff though them as they have the best prices.(they carry GMC as well) There are alot of bed kits available. You wll be surprised how reasonable parts are for these trucks. There are still a lot on the road.. What kind of engine do you have ?
I really don't know, it's a six cylinder (235)? with a two speed powergide auto trans. It's a great old truck and needs almost nothing to put it back on the road.

Nope; The bed is still all there and even in some places still has the paint on it (silver).
