63 Apache for FREE!!!

[Patriot]

My friend just gave me a 1963 Apache for free. He has a 64 truck that is a shortbox that he is going to restore.

He said he didn't want the Apache and gave it to me. COOL!!!

I already have a few "Square Bodies" and this is my first 60's truck.

I do have a few questions for you fellas:

What were the Apache years?
What size motor(6 cyl.) is in my truck?
Are the Apaches rare?...it is a 2WD.

The truck is a long box, 2WD, manual tranny. It was bought in 1963 by the US Air Force and was used its whole life at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota.
It is all complete.

Thanks in advance fellas. I'm real excited about his old rig. I will be restoring it AFTER I finish my 1979 1 Ton 4X4 dually.
