Here We Go Again...

Just found this one. I've spoken with the owner a couple of times and I'm hopefully dragging a trailer up there in a week or so.

'64 Short Bed, /6 3-Speed column shift.

It was purchased brand new by the gentleman's father and it came into his possession some time in the late eighties.

It's been sitting for 3 years, prior to that it was rarely driven during his ownership. It's rock solid besides a little rust in the floorpans and surface rust from sitting under a tarp.

The engine needs at least a valve adjustment and will probably need rebuilding or replacement but I have one I can drop in.

Just trying to get some opinions on what it's really worth. He's asking $900 but I really don't think it's worth that much.

I don't know, maybe $500-$750?

Bumpers are hard to find and it has both!

Im With Wally on this.
looks complete, Hard to kill a /6.

Thanks for the input guys!

One more ?

The sliding rear glass. I'm assuming it's aftermarket? I've never seen anything like it on a sweptline that I can remember.

Any gurus know anything about it?

Hell yea, $500.00-$700.00 for a short box. Shorty's are hard to come by in any shape!

[wally426ci]

Aftermarket only I believe. Wide rear glass I would think is harder to find the older they get based on it not being standard.

If that box and rear stock light duty bumper are in decent condition, they're
practically worth the asking price on their own. If they're at $900 and
you show up with $750 [with another $150 just in case], you might really
come out great on it. Heck!.... That truck doesn't even need paint! Just
buff it up and drive!

Ive never seen a 64 with the big back window. i thought they started the big window in 67? I might be wrong but that might have been modified or have a different cab on it.

Right on!

Large rear windows were an option from '61 through '67 and then made
standard in '68.

I didnt know that. That is cool i just have not ever seen one with the big window option. Thanks for setting me strait. I gues you learn somthing new everyday.

Bottom line: get it if you can afford it. Paint cleans up very well sometimes. A coat of wax went a LONG way on mine.
