My 'new' truck.
I've been hanging around this board while searching for a mid 60's Chevy truck for about a year now - and have finally brought one home.
 Almost had a deal for this same truck 5-6 months ago, but it fell through. Now it's mine.Very solid and very little rust for it's age. No motor at the moment, but I'm picking the straight 6 and tranny up today that was running when pulled out. If I even install it, it won't last long. It will eventually have an LSX motor in it. It's exactly what I wanted.       Here's a pic with bags that the previous owner had on it. They're still on the rear, but not part of the deal. I just want it lowered, not bagged - yet. It's got a 5 lug rear, and I'm getting 5 lug front end stuff in the deal too.

Re: My 'new' truck.
Great buy man, good platform to begin with. Looks like my '64. Are you planning on keeping the bench seat? I'm looking to ditch/trade my bucket seats.
