The 4th show last weekend I went too, I didn't enter, just showed up to take photos.

This 1966 GMC with V6 engine was at this show.

Power steering and power brakes too. Looks like a dual circuit master with proportioning valve -- newer front axle with disc brakes maybe?

Its NOT a factory 4-wheel drive, started out as 2-wheel drive, got converted with parts from a newer Ford.

Yes its a 351 with a 4bbl conversion. he plans on leaving in the V6.

Hopefully he at least started out with a 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive frame which of course is heavier duty than the relatively wimpy 1/2 ton frame. Maybe he doesn't do too much serious off-roading. Even the 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive frame is heavier duty than the 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive frame, being taller and wider in cross-section.

This guy just picked this truck up this way, its a 1500. he knows the history of this truck because his Uncle bought it new in 1966 then later converted it to a 4-wheel drive.

He's one of my car show friends.

For some reason that posted twice. I'll be posting photos from today's show later after I get them edited down in side. Sounds of Freedom Car Show was today in Layton.
