Thanks!! I think I will restore original except for wheels and stance. It would be nice to find correct date code 283 for it. We ran the casting number and 3932386 comes back as 68-69 large journal 327 or 69-72 hi perf. 350 4 bolt main.

I got a 63 with a 283 i bought for parts, would have to check engine code, it's supposed to be original. I hadn't picked it up yet and it'll be a couple of months but it did run when I bought the truck.

Absolute Score!

**Captainfab** · 11-11-2013, 01:42 AM

Yes that is a lucky find

As high as the front sits I thought there wouldn't have been an engine in it.

lee64 · 11-11-2013, 02:00 AM

Looks like maybe somebody put coil spacers in it maybe ?

The truck is sitting on jackstands in the pics. Sorry should have mentioned that. I'm trying to get it shipped to Michigan.

glos55 · 11-11-2013, 06:45 AM

Still waiting to get this delivered! First shipper cancelled because starter is off and he couldnt drive it onto carrier. Looking for another shipper with winch.

I found a transport company out of Lima Ohio that is going to get the 64 and deliver it.
