That truck is located in Michigan and is for sale. It has a diesel in it. Word is, that the body is very rotten. It is a pretty rare truck however.

That one has a 318 poly (in the pictures) unless its been changed to a diesel since.
You may be thinking of AAA's turquoise W300 Crew Cab. That has the original Perkins diesel.

I am happy to say that she is now mine. It is a 67 with the poly motor. The body is in pretty good condition the front cab mounts are a little soft but she is getting put back together. Dodgemain was the previous owner. Great guy and I would definitely buy from him again.
He said it wasa rare one being a w300 crew, can anyone tell me how rare? I am in the process of updating to a daily driver but I don't want to ruin history.

that is the proper link. Can anyone tell me the value of these parts? I might be selling the entire driveline and the front bumper.

please reconsider selling/replacing the drivetrain parts to such a unique and rare truck. As best I can count, and I have been watching closely for 15 years, (17) 1962~1971 W300CCs are accounted for. I have kept a good list.

I have owned (6) of those, and would have bought the truck you now own had the timing been right.

You can upgrade the brakes to disc, and install 11R16 Michelins to help with the axle ratios and make more of a daily driver and user friendly.

^^^^I'd tend to agree with Aaron on this one. While making vintage iron into an economical daily driver is a great thing to do, I'm not sure a running/driving factory W300 crew is the place to start... If you're not going to use any of the factory running gear it'd make more sense to buy a D200 or D300 crew cab and start from there, or even a W300 with a grenaded motor or axles. Not trying to tell you what to do with your truck, just making sure you've considered all your options :salut
