New here! A couple pics of my truck
My names Jared. I am from south east Kansas. I recently traded an AR-15 to a friend for this 1964 Chevy longbed stepside. It runs and drives like new or close to it. You seriously cannot here this thing when its running. It has the 230 straight six with 3 speed. Am radio and dealer add-on air conditioning(still have all the factory paper work for it) The ac also still works but needs charged. Its kinda beat up but not too bad. Most the parts, minus the front fenders of corse are rust free. I bought a '65 last weekend for parts. Gonna use the long fleetside bed off it for sure. Maybe doors and hood. The parts truck runs and drives and has a 283v8. still on the fence if I want to replace the good running 230 6-cyl. Any input, thoughts, or ideas would be awesome! Here are the pics:

Re: New here! A couple pics of my truck
Nice truck. Welcome to the forum. It's very difficult for most of us to find a truck from this series in such clean condition. If you intend to restore and sell it I'd say keep it stock. If you plan to keep it forever, build it in whatever configuration pleases you most. As if you could have ordered it new with whatever options you wanted. I’ve always had a fondness for the inline six, but there is a reason most run a small block Chevy. They are easy and comparatively inexpensive to build for either power or economy.

Re: New here! A couple pics of my truck
nice truck - love that color combo and the black wheels. welcome. If you're gonna keep her like you said - then I wouldn't hesitate to throw in the 283. BUT - keep in mind, unless you're twice as luck as the rest of us - and that 283 has all the stock a/c brackets etc - you could be in for a bit of a treasure hunt. That dealer a/c is awesome - there's been lots of talk on the site about the ol skool a/c underdash units, nice to see an original, especially one that still works!
EDIT - oh yeah, forgot to add - I was GOING to say keep it stock, I think that's the only way to go for a longbed stepside - then I say your note about using the donor longfleet. That's cool and I think if yhou do that, it also opens up more custom options. It's just personal opinion - but I always have thought that long steps look best in stock/restored condition - moreso that short stepsides or any fleetside. Short steps and any fleet side are prime candidates for lowering, you name it. Again, just my personal taste. Last edited by jocko; 06-24-2011 at 12:50 AM. |

Welcome to the forum
![]() I agree with Mark. It is getting increasingly difficult to find this vintage of trucks in this nice of condition.

Re: New here! A couple pics of my truck
I still prefer the nostalgic feeling of the longbed stepside.
Before you decide to switch to the fleetside, you might check under the seat and see if the original spec sheet is under there. I'd be inclined to keep the original stepside. These longbed fleetsides aren't as unique as your stepside. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: New here! A couple pics of my truck
Is the spec sheet behind or under the seat?

Re: New here! A couple pics of my truck
It is usually in the top section of the back of the seat, it is just a sheet of paper that is normally folded up.
ps you might think about adding a 3 speed OD transmission that way you could pick up the pace when cruising down the highway .... |
