New member with a new '64 fleetside

[Improbcat]

Hello all, I joined this forum a bit back when I started truck shopping and now that I have one I thought I'd introduce it.

It is a '64 c10 fleetside longbed that appears to be the most basic truck you could buy from Chevy. It has a 230 inline & 3-spd on the column. It doesn't seem to have a single option or extra, no passenger sun visor, no passenger key lock, no passenger mirror, no *center* mirror, nothing. And aside from a seat cover over the good original seat nothing has been changed or messed with over the years.

I am in RI and found the truck in NH. The guy I bought it from buys stuff to flip(and was completely honest about that) so the only thing he did was to to redo the bed floor in exterior plywood. The guy he got it off though was planning to restore it until money ran out and had already gone through the drivetrain and mechanicals and fixed any issues so it starts instantly, shifts well and stops amazingly. The only thing it needs is some new tires(worn bias-plys currently) and an alignment.

The body is pretty good with some rot in the usual places. The floors have been previously patched, but while they were made from sheet metal they look to have been welded in right. None of the other spots appear to be structural so I can get to them when I get to them.

Basically it is exactly what I wanted in a truck. A nice simple 6-cyl manual truck that I can enjoy and improve without having to fix the bad decisions & poor maintenance of past owners.

Right now the only pics are from the ad, as the pics from going to look at it didn't come out well and I'm not picking it up til Thursday.
