Got another truck

[neglected61]

So after i practically stole my first truck, a 61 for 400$ and drove it home, i scored yet again! I found me a 63 longbed bbw all original except the steering column :/ for only 300$! of course i couldnt pass it up! so now i have two lovely longbeds! a 1961 and a 1963, let me know what you think!

the last two pics of just the truck are after i cleaned it the first time. i am STILL cleaning it hahah

[whitels1]

Nice score man. It's awesome when you can find a truck on the cheap!

[66Submarine]

Nice! Looks like it has a later engine and a '64-'66 grill, though (not like that's really a bad thing). Also has an HEI distributor in it as a bonus.

[neglected61]

I should say mostly original, specially compared to my hacked and butchered 1961 that i saved from the PO.

[neglected61]

the straight six is going, she is frozen solid lol

[neglected61]

Also if anyone is interested i wanna trade my grille off the 1963 for a chevy 1962 grille, and trade my hood off the 1963 for a chevy nostril hood! PM me if your interested!

It looks like it has earlier the Custom Cab trim that wraps around the back of the cab. If it actually has that trim and the correct sail panels, those parts are probably worth two or three times as much as you gave for the whole truck.

I think you should be reported for steeling or maybe get award for being a hero for saving two trucks lives.
Great score.

Looks like a pretty good truck. And also looks like you got it for a a VERY VERY good price.

Be sure to clean up the salvageable parts off that I6 and sell them....that HEI should clean up nicely...and you could probably make some money off it...The head off the engine may be in good shape..so you may be able to sell it to. Anyhow...nice truck for the money!

[markeb01]

Excellent. Good for you!

[neglected61]

REVOH it does have the custom cab sail panels and it DOES have the little trim that wraps around the rear of the window

i try to save em when i can! specially when they are as cheap as i find them!

also if my brother doesnt give the i6 the ok to rebuild the entire motor will be for sale cheap enough to get it gone and allow me to move on with my build.

[neglected61]

alright the sail panel trim and rear window trim is for sale. as is the entire motor. pm me if interested

[Straydog]

Nice score man

[neglected61]

Last two full sets I saw sold on ebay went for $350...keep your eyes peeled, they do pop up. It would be nice if mar-k could reproduce it.

They pop up in the classifieds here too...just got another set of the sails for $125 2 weeks ago.

Id leave it on personally...nice for two tone tops too. Or put it on your 61.

[neglected61]

im not much of a trim guy, i take it off so people who will appreciate it more than i would can have the opportunity to have it, sure it would look good but its not that desirable to me.

[neglected61]

also why does my 63 have chrome around the windshield weatherstrip? is that part of the "custom cab" trim, cause i hate it and it needs to go lol

[1963c-10]

Yes, the trim around the winshield was part of the deluxe package. Its stainless steel. You have to remove the windshield to get the trim off as its installed in the gasket prior to the glass.

[neglected61]

lameeeee well if i take it off evetually is it worth saving and selling cheap to somebody? or should i just toss it in the trash.

[neglected61]
