On December 16 2010 after leaving my girlfriends dads funeral service I saw this truck looks like it had a little front end damage

I always liked the look of most old trucks, but especially the 60-66 chevys. So I bought this 64 back in october off ebay for $3200. Having seen it only online. Won't do that again! but I think I did ok. This is my first old truck. I wanted something I could drive daily to my job and work on as I could come up with $ and time. It has some issues, but nothing too major that I've found yet. Still trying to figure out what size L6 engine I have. Been reading other posts for info. For now I'm enjoying driving something with great lines & history and seeing what the other chevy truck freaks are doing with theirs.

Nice truck yellowdog. If the engine is stock, it's most likely a 230. Only way of really knowing though is running the casting numbers. This might help.

Welcome yellowdog.

I kinda like what they did there with the grill.
I'm guessing it's painted silver, but at first glance I thought you had the rare aluminum grill

What makes the aluminum grill rare?

Not perfect but here's one...

Miller92 · 12-23-2010, 05:48 PM

Did the aluminum come on just a certain year?

Great work. That frame splice looks beautiful.

Thanks, I have a knack for getting into projects like this. My other current project is a 57 4 door sedan that I converted to a 2 door sedan. Guess I needed another challenge so why not a longbed to a shortbed conversion.
