Drug home this '64 today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jwalk · 10-03-2010, 02:35 AM

This is my first 60-66 GM truck. I've had my eye on this one for the past few years. The previous owner wouldn't let go of it. Well today while I was running into town, I saw they was having a yard sale. So on my way back I made my self stop by and ask one more time. This time it was a totally different story. He said he'd let it go. I was like "alright"....... now lets hear his outrageous price.....and it didn't come. I didn't even chew him down, gave him what he asked and shook his hand.

He said he had a heart attack three weeks ago and has a new look at life. He told me he doesn't need all these things.... there just things. So he was in the selling mood I'd say. Well heres some pics for ya... No motor or trans. It needs some body work done and some rust repair, but nothing to bad for a good body man! I've fixed worse. Here ya go.

**Bugeyev8** · 10-03-2010, 05:07 AM

great looking start, glad you saved it from just rotting away !

*lakeroadster* · 10-03-2010, 09:20 AM

Very nice.... what's the "vision" for this one?

markeb01 · 10-03-2010, 09:35 AM

Some times persistence pays off. Glad you finally got it. Looking forward to the updates as it progresses.

Welcome to the best truck site, fellow Okie (I spend WAY too much time on here, always fun).
Nice score - and cool toy collection!

1/2Dozen · 10-03-2010, 01:22 PM

Awesome! You should post a pic of the other toys you have in that shop!

bubba327 · 10-03-2010, 04:09 PM

Welcome to the 60-66 side.--Atta boy for being persistent and saving a nice short bed . Looks like some other nice cars exist with you also!!
The old guy was right about old trucks "They are just things" But they make me happy!!!!

**jocko** · 10-03-2010, 04:56 PM

nice find. I like it!

**scotts62** · 10-03-2010, 05:40 PM

NICE!! Thats was the one you were telling Joe and i about when we were out, right?

joe231 · 10-03-2010, 05:45 PM

Sweet!!
that thing looks so familiar....I just can't place it though.

Is this one getting the drop-member treatment?

jwalk · 10-03-2010, 06:16 PM

Thanks guys! Scott I can't remember if I told you and Joe about this truck or not... And Joe I just got this truck yesterday so I don't know if you've seen it before or not.... and no it won't receive dropmembers.

As of right now I have no idea what I'll do with it.

Nice truck Justin.

I doubt you meant it to come out that way, but this language is anti-Semitic and flatly unacceptable. Can you revise your post so as not to insult any Jewish board members please?

60apache · 10-03-2010, 11:17 PM

so how much was it?

YBNORML · 10-03-2010, 11:34 PM

Man, you guys are lucky. If that truck was up here, the floor and rockers would be gone. And the owner would still want $5000.00
Nice start.

Congrats on a nice score

Looks like you could just drop an engine and trans in it and drive it.

jwalk · 10-04-2010, 02:05 AM

Dan I meant no harm.

As fas as everyone else thanks a lot. I might just have to keep this truck. I'm beginning to see it bagged, c notch, and with a big block, th400, and 3.08's. In case you didn't know that is what will be coming out of my silver 68 (project second time around.) I'll need something to put it in. Just maybe...
