Hello From SoCal

[TheMopars]

I picked up this 1964 Sweptline at the end of September. It had been sitting since at
least 08'. It's a custom cab (?) with a 318 and push button auto. Towed it home and been
working on the last 6-7 weeks to get it road worthy.

Usual fluids changed, rebuilt the alternator and carb (then bought a rebuilt, had a manual
carb on it) replaced water pump, refurbed the radiator, new master cylinder, rebuilt
front wheel cylinders, replaced soft lines, new low beams, dash bulbs, made a new headliner,
new rims/tires, a few other little things. I'm maybe almost halfway though my list but it
keeps growing lol.

I've been searching here a lot while waiting for membership, lots of great info that has
saved me time and headaches, thanks.

I'm loving this truck. Finally got out for a nice little cruise today and snagged a few photos.
The first one is the day I picked it up to bring it home. Last photo reminds me I need to find
a pair of those tail gate pivot brackets.

Truck was bought new at Downey Dodge in SoCal. The guy I bought it from (he bought it in May) got it from the original owners
son in law. I assume he was going to work on it but sold it instead. Before I got it the floors were done (not a great job but I'll
only redo if I go full restoration) and the seat re-upholstered. Spent most of it's time in and around LA until it went Oxnard. I
bought it in Sun Valley. It was listed for $4k and I got it for $3k which I thought was pretty good for the market here. Does have
some rust in the door bottoms which again I'll fix if I decide to paint etc.

I can email you full rez photos if you like them, they are over 1MB for sure.

Here's a shot of the headliner I made for about $20. Used a sheet of pressboard from Lowes and picked up some black burlap
from a local foam/fabric store. I used spray adhesive to attach and some foam pieces on the back to hold it in place.

GREAT deal for $3k send the pics over if you'd like!

[TheMopars]

Thanks for the welcome. Great site, look forward to contributing when I can.

Wally, emailed you some photos.

I like your picture where your truck is going up the takeoff ramp to jump 25 cars! YEE HAW Just kidding!

FYI, the color is Sand Dune White.

Thanks, I was curious about that since there's no paint code on the vin tag.

Got the pics. Thank you!

FYI, there are NO paint codes on Sweptline trucks through their run 61-71. So... unless you find a very rare build sheet, (which I am not sure he color is on those either) you will not find a paint code.

Going to have to pickup a copy of your CD. I bought a service manual which helps but seems they left out a lot of stuff.

You can pm me or shoot me an email for more info.
