He are a couple of pics of the truck I bought off ebay for $100. Its a 1963 and came with a 292 3 speed. Plans are to slam the **** out of it. Just got my air bag kit from *****************. I am chopping the crossmember 1.5" right now. Also upgrading the front suspension to 73-87 5 lug w/ disk brakes plus power brakes. After the chassis work I will move on to the body then motor.

id run the vin numbers before id put any more money in that truck.it could be stolen.more likely the po swapped cabs.

DM310 · 03-24-2005, 12:24 AM

no, the cab has not been swaped. it has the same vin in the frame as on the cab and you can tell the vin plate has not been messed with. I am taking it in tomorrow to have it inspected so I can register it. Its had a non opp for the past 12 years. They aready ran the vin and it came up clean but they could not tell me what year it is. I am leaning towards a 65 or 66 now after doing some research
