picked a real nice 64 LWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dans66Chevy · 08-17-2014, 11:03 PM

After looking for a month I drove 600 miles one way to look at three trucks. I wasnt going home with a empty trailer. The first one was a 64 SWB fleet side. It was ok but not great. Second was a 64 that was a heap of CRAP!!!!! But the third one was the charm. I will try to post some pictures....truck is super solid. Cab mounts and inner fenders are perfect.

After reading on here and looking at some pictures my new truck is a Big Back Window with a deluxe interior. I would think kinda rare. Im working on some pictures.

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 04:58 PM

First time posting a picture on here...

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 04:59 PM

A couple more shots...

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 05:01 PM

This last one is one of the ones I was going to buy. Loved the truck but way to rusty for me.

The truck I got is Spot-Less under it. Cab mounts,box cross braces and frame are MINT!!!!

**jayoldschool** · 08-18-2014, 05:23 PM

The rusty one looks awesome. Pass along the info, someone will want that.

Mathew21 · 08-18-2014, 05:29 PM

Nice find, Congrats!

50bomb · 08-18-2014, 07:51 PM

So your sayin the one on the trailer you passed up?!! man that thing is so original!

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 08:21 PM

The green one I passed up. The one on the trailer I bought. And yes sir it is about 99% original. It was a six cylinder three on the tree when it began life. It now has a 283 .030 over with some kind of a huge cam. Sounds really good.

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 08:23 PM

A few more pictures...someone put this handle on the glove box door.

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 08:24 PM

This cool sticker is in the back window. Not sure exactly what it means.

Straydog · 08-18-2014, 08:24 PM

Ya did good....nice lookin truck!!!

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 08:26 PM

Brake booster was in the tool box in the back.

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 08:30 PM

So now I need to ask a few questions. If you guys had 66 Impala questions im a whiz. These trucks not so much. So are all these trucks from the factory tan colored inside. The outside was turqoise but the inside is a brown tan color. Whats the deal? Will that brake booster give me power brakes? It looks like matching holes in the fire wall.

Looks to me like the "fawn" interior is probably just kind of nasty after 50 years.

The brake booster was probably removed because the cam didn't make enough vacuum for the booster to really do anything.

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 08:36 PM

The same color they used in the cars was Fawn. I just think it doesn't go to well with the green. The booster has never been on the truck. It was in the tool box. I think it is the correct one. Just talk to the guy the booster was given to him. He isn't sure what it fits.

Misread the question; yes, they all had the same interior color from GM (AFIAK, anyway). The '66 trucks had a brown dash, though; I'll attach a picture.

Not sure on the booster, but I doubt it'll do too much anyway if it's got a lumpy cam that doesn't pull any vacuum.

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 09:05 PM

Yes it has a real lumpy cam. I will throw a vacuum gauge on it and see what it has. It also has a 2,800 stall converter. They said the motor was in a drag car. It has headers and nice full exhaust to the back bumper.

OOHH!! Yea then you did super good. I love the original paint and all that trim. GREAT SCORE!

Dans66Chevy · 08-18-2014, 10:04 PM

I had a guy on the way home say that it would look good with fresh paint. I said that look took 50 years to get here im not going to screw it up...he looked at me like I was nuts...
