Re: '64 rustbucket longbed former farm truck

Got my "new" '66 cab home this past saturday. I ended up paying only $400 for it, and the guy threw in a beat up aluminum grille for free.

Rounded up 3 of my friends to load it in the truck and unload it into my garage. The unloading was full on 3-stooges madness trying to get it out of the truck inside the garage without smacking it into the roof beams.









Since Saturday life has been insane, so it was only yesterday that I had a chance to really dig into the cab and what it has/needs.



It came with the full dash(less heater stuff), AM radio, steering column & wheel), and a set of nice blue sun-visors(the center mirror looks nice, but the ball & socket is rusted solid). I'll be keeping the wiper switch as it appears to have a washer switch built in, other than that everything else is getting sold to help put some money back in the truck fund.







The biggest selling point for me is that the roof is perfect inside & out. No dents or rust(the rust at the front edge of the inside roof in the sun visors pic is surface rust from where the scraped the paint getting the windshield out). All the roof should need is a quick sand & re-prime for some tiny surface rust spots, new sealant in the gutter and to be painted.
