How sweet it is...
I waited 3 years on this and it's finally mine!
It runs and it runs darn good. Had to put a fuel pump on it before we left with it and he did it for no charge. The choke needs to be fixed and he already put the rear shoes on it. He gave me the fronts along with a new set of front shocks. It's titled as a 67 but he changed the front to a 68. It is gorgeous in my eyes just like it is, even though I plan to clean it up good and do some cosmetic stuff to it. The out side will go untouched for the sake of the Pantina look! God I never thought I say that about a vehicle I owned.  I got 15,000lbs tag today for it and have to call and get the insurance on it.I hope Hagerty's will insure it for me. Dad found a 12,000lbs wench at Harbor Freight to install on it. It needs the seat redone and a really good cleaning out. New front windsheild and gaskets all around it. I have some old parts from my 71 I will be putting on it. Door panels steering wheel and it's going to be a multi color what ever I can find for it.So if you want to donate parts feel free no matter how big are little. Thanks to my dad it's mine! It's just a cool old truck!

Re: How sweet it is...
I'm still laughing about the 12,000lb wench!
But cool find and should be a good companion to your other truck.

I would guess the whole cab is '68 unless the dash has been swapped or the hole for the ignition switch has been enlarged. It has a '68 up large bezel ignition switch in it. '67 would be the small diameter bezel. None the less it is a nice truck..... LockDoc

It also had a "9" in the cab and chassis spot... I would have thought it would have been a "3". I can't find what 9 decodes to? Definitely a cool toy.

Re: How sweet it is...
That is a cool old truck....congrats!!...and that will make a very cool hauler, you might even pick up a few bucks hauling classic cars to local meets just so they can ride high on it.
That said, I would do a couple of things to it to set it up for hauling...as follows: -Go have the rad tested and/or redone to make sure it is up to snuff....4 core/row minimum on that type of vehicle. -While you are at it, put in a new thermostat (cheap stuff....good for the mindset) -Find and add the original fan shroud (appears to be missing)...this will really help keep it cool under load. -Source/find and install a power brake booster to help out with your braking....not too expensive to come by. Question: What engine is in it?....you can always do/add a few bolt ons to get a little more torque without breaking the bank or the motor. Regardless....great truck, great find!!...those always look good! all Good Coley

Re: How sweet it is...
I love it! I would have a yard full of these trucks but my wife won't let me. She also won't let me get rid of any. Go figure.

Re: How sweet it is...
I haven't seen it in person yet, just saw a pic of the VIN this morning.
Hope Andy doesn't mind, but it was posted on FB, the start of the VIN is CE397B The 9 is throwing me off... I wonder if that was a special wheelbase or something (like for the motor homes?) Quote:

Re: How sweet it is...
According to the title it's a 67. he PO said he changed the cab over to a 68. Side markers where a dead give away on that first time I saw it. As for a frame stamp no haven't looked for one. Jesse I don't mind and I don't know about the number.
I took some pictures under it just for the heck of it. I must of been tired when I posted. The winch dad found was 12,000lbs with remote. Series-wound motor stays cooler during long pulls Three-stage planetary gear system for fast line speed Automatic load-holding brake for maximum safety Free spooling for fast line-out Cable tensioner to prevent cable tangling 12 ft. ergonomic handheld remote control Roller fairlead Aircraft grade wire rope I didn't even mess with it today been working on getting the AC done in dad's 56. It's working nice. Talked to my mechanic today going to drive it over to his shop and leave it for him to do the front brakes on it. I don't have a big enough jack to do anything with it.

Re: How sweet it is...
I could be wrong, but it looks like he not only put a 68 cab on it, he put a 68 50th anniversary cab on it. The one pic shows part of the door panel. That color white only came in the anniversary edition. That is super cool.

Re: How sweet it is...
If you dont have one already, you should borrow a big trailer for a pic. Hauler with the 56 on back, 64 in frojt and the 71 on the tail of the trailer...in year order ya know. That'd be a good pic to blow up into a poster!
