**ChiefRocka** · 08-10-2009, 11:35 PM

This piece is about 2 hrs away from home....runs, no brakes....says its a 292

2nd owner...original farm truck

Dash looks cut, even though he said it wasn't

Not sure if a stepper is my style.....

**ChiefRocka** · 08-10-2009, 11:36 PM

more...

**Captainfab** · 08-10-2009, 11:39 PM

Yep that's a 292.....'63 is the first year for them

Truck doesn't look too bad. At least it's a '63 though

Does it have the '63 grill?

**ChiefRocka** · 08-10-2009, 11:42 PM

Yeap...but he didn't send it....Wish it was a schlong stepper though

bubba327 · 08-10-2009, 11:45 PM

**ChiefRocka** · 08-10-2009, 11:49 PM

The radio hole in the first truck has been cut and a radio delete plate will not cover that hole. Otherwise, it looks ok depending on the money. I'd pass just because it's not a fleetside, lol.

The second truck looks more interesting. Fleetside, straight aluminum grill, "runs", and from what I can tell, relatively straight body and rust free. That's not bad money either, but I base that on East Coast stuff.

rcrahn · 08-10-2009, 11:59 PM

Just say NO! That truck is not you....

joe231 · 08-11-2009, 12:11 AM

pick up the stepper and put a fleet bed on it

You seem to have a preference for 63. I can respect that. But you would consider those other years right? What are they again 5-4-6 or something like that. Don't want to start that argument over again!

63 & 64 Bowties · 08-11-2009, 06:30 AM

the first one is just not a Chief-mobile.

**ChiefRocka** · 08-11-2009, 06:31 AM

I really like the '63. I like the windshield, the dash, the suspension and of course the grill!!

Seems like the perfect year, before they changed everything to a truck that looks the same for the next 3 years.

**aerotruk63** · 08-11-2009, 06:43 AM

First truck has the gauge dash, the second has the BBW looks like a deluxe steering and fleetside. Second has the dash painted up deluxe. Wish I was closer I'd buy it. Your not finished shopping yet. Perhaps someone on the site has an unfinished project for you.

jonzcustomshop · 08-11-2009, 06:48 AM

yeah it seems 63 is the way to go if you like the knee knocker cab, but don't wantthe headaches of the torsion bars,X frame , and hydraulic clutch....
I love that 1500$ bbw I have been patiently shopping the local CL for a nice 63 bbw long fleet for a future project.... by the time I find one I might have enough money saved up.. that is if I quit trying to buy every cheap truck I find...

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-11-2009, 09:12 AM

He is asking $1500. Dosen't mean he is going to get it. Offer him $1200. The worst he can say is no.. And if you get a step truck you can get a fleet bed. Ask me how I know.. Also all you guys fighting over the trucks. They are all great in their own way. I wanted a 63 because it is my birth year. I have what I have because that is what was avalible and I couldn't pass up the last truck for the money and the non rust issues,.

**ChiefRocka** · 08-11-2009, 09:33 AM

Born in '63 ?!?!? Wow, that explains a lot !!

1964C10 · 08-11-2009, 10:51 AM

I think you are right John, not sure if that stepper is you. In your case it needs flat black, wide white walls and hauls _ss! lol

glendale · 08-11-2009, 11:09 AM

i could really use that 292. if you get and want to get rid of it.
