1963 c 20 questions?

I'm looking at a 1963 c 20 truck
it has the 8 lug wheels,and V-8 and a 4 speed.

now I talked to him a bit on the phone and he says it's a "creeper gear" 4 speed.
so what is a "creeper gear" 4 speed??

do I not really have to use first gear when taking off from a stop?
is first only used just to creep along at a steady slow speed?

and to me it seems to be a short side box,I'll put up a pic later when I figure out how to get it off my phone.


it looks to be all stock,not much modified on it.

it was a factory 283 w/ the 4 speed.
he put in a 350.

how are the c20's as for finding parts?
like brakes,and suspension stuff.

he says the wheel cylinders are bad,so I'll have to get right on that.

thanks to all that read this and reply.

I had a '64 c10 many years ago and enjoyed it,but I let it go.
