OMG what did I do...
I bought this truck today... It is a 65 long bed and looks like it is pretty much all orginal. Even has the radio delete plate still in place along with a niffty 8 track player. I am guessing it has 154,000 miles but that could have turned a few times. It has a 283 with a three on the tree. Looks to be a calif truck as it still has the black plates and was bought in Napa where I bought it. I just plan to drive it and fix it while driving it. Acually going to be somewhat of my work truck. I was thinking of sanding and paiting the roof white. Who knows maybe it was originally white.. Also the truck has minimal rust but it dose have some..

Re: OMG what did I do...
What you have done is scored big. Nice truck. Finding a truck that good around here is like winning the lottery.

Re: OMG what did I do...
Pretty good buy for 1,995.00 unless you talked him down some. I wish I could find a truck that had floors in it around here and wasn't runsted through the top of windshield frame. It's going to take several trucks and parts to put my '65 together. I tmay end up being a patch work truck when done. Cool find though man.

Re: OMG what did I do...
Nice find. The truck looks to be complete which is a big plus. Body looks straight which is another big plus. Congrats on the new truck.

Re: OMG what did I do...
I got the truck today. Put some gas in it and started it up. It didn't smoke like the guy told me and the starter did work, he said it stopped working. I changed the oil and tried bleeding the brakes but the left rubber line burst on me. Better there then on the road somewhere. I took a few shots of the engine today. I never notice the High Tourqe 283 when I first looked at it.
