Re: '64 rustbucket longbed former farm truck
Installed a Mr Gasket 7667 shifter as the column shift linkage was completely worn out. Final tweaking put it a few inches further forward where it was out of the way of the bench seat even fully forward.
Since the center floor is fine, I ground the little surface rust, coated the floor in Masterseries anti-rust paint, then truck bedliner and finally some Second Skin sound deadener.
Found a bench seat on craigslist for $100, power washed it and installed it. It did wonders for the look of the interior.
Bolted a $5 flea market tool box into the bed to hold tiedown straps and such.
Cut the bottom of the fender off and discovered all the original bracketry had been hacked out by someone doing prior rust repair. Decided I needed all the factory floor pieces so I could fix this properly.
