Re: Going to look at this Ochre beauty tomorrow. Thoughts?
You guys missed my update on page 2. No truck for me. The guy was too tickled by the eBay auction response to give in and sell it early. I went there Wednesday night, at he ended it early last night. Someone must have either offered him a figure he couldn't refuse locally or one if the bidders offered a figure to end it.

Re: Going to look at this Ochre beauty tomorrow. Thoughts?
Thought I'd update this that I got a truck! Didn't end up with a 67-72 so I won't start a new thread in this section. I found this '64 listed in Washington and drove 280 miles to get it and drove it all the way home. Pretty excited. I'll post a more detailed thread in the 60-66 section once I take more pics. Thanks again to everyone who gave input on my threads and helped me be more comfortable buying a truck.

That's one of the nicest 60-66 I've seen.

![]() It was pretty cool driving it home I got about 15 honks and thumbs up by people passing me. It didn't really occur to me that I may get any reactions from other drivers until it started happening. With 4:10 gear three speed I camped out behind the slow semi trucks the whole way home and let everyone else zip by in the fast lane. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Going to look at this Ochre beauty tomorrow. Thoughts?
Man, congratulations. That really is a beauty. I like the red and all the chrome
You'll want to add power brakes ASAP. You don't need to do disc. I'd hate to see some jerk pull out in front of you and you can't stop in time, and smash up that beauty. Posted via Mobile Device |

With the wider wheels and smaller steering wheel it's a bearcat to steer. I'd like to add seat belts, disc brakes up front, and power steering eventually. Just to make that much more enjoyable to drive. Edited-just saw your addition. Yes I definitely want to do that ASAP. So you're saying add a brake booster to the existing drums?

Re: Going to look at this Ochre beauty tomorrow. Thoughts?
Nice truck! As far as upgrades go, from experience if on a budget i would suggest adding a power booster to the existing drums first. Then ps. You can always add discs as well. Another nice swap is to either add an overdrive to the existing trans or swap the rear to higher ratio. My dad had a 71 GMC with a 250 6 cyl 3 ott and 3.73 rear. I found a 3.07 posi on local c list for $100. You might have a harder time finding a six lug axle and just swap gears.

Re: Going to look at this Ochre beauty tomorrow. Thoughts?
Any idea what the 72 went for? I would be willing to guess $8-$10k.

Ya know, I wish I knew. I haven't talked to the guy since that day. He wouldn't mind if I called and asked him but he was going on a trip a few days after that and still isn't home. Since he ended the auction early, I wouldn't be surprised if someone offered him around 7k to end it. |
