Default Re: The seldom seen 1966 Sport Trim option - a REAL short wideside has been found!

Thanks Ed! I am hoping some members will post pictures of any Sport Trim equipped 66's anyone may have too. Probably an old thread or two I can figure out how to get to and read from years back. This one to my surprise was one of the more base model inline 250 equipped trucks but since that engine is long gone and same for the 3 speed, I will re-construct it with a 351E and Powerglide probably. Can't restore it "original" without the engine it came with but I can do it nicely equipped and "correct" and truthfully, about anyone would do the same I think. Most of us are V6 fans and less so much on the 250. I would certainly love to discover anyone was hoarding a V6 equipped parts truck that had 100% of its 3 speed overdrive equipment on it and for sale- now that would be sweeter than doing a powerglide. But, the only thing as rare as the Sport Trim option seems to be that **** overdrive. You can forget anyone selling you that because it doesn't exist. Not even going to ask LOL
