I have a 1964 short bed 45 I've been working on for about 7 years now. I think I won't ever finish it and it deserves someone to finish it.

Cab was a fixed top cab, now it has the upper half of the back of the cab cut off to look more like the removable top version. Roof panel is gone. Windshield frame and glass are in good condition. Full doors are in good condition. Rocker panels rusted badly.

Bed is a reproduction of the stock bed. Pretty good copy. Bobbed 16". I didn't like how much rear overhang it had behind the wheel well- so it cut it off.

Bobbed the frame to match. Just behind rear spring hangers.

Stock leaf springs, shackle reversal performed.

Scout II steering box.

Motor mounts welded in for small block Chevy.

No transmission crossmember.

No seats.

Dash is all intact and original.

Started a roll-cage profiled like the Metal Tech cage to follow the dash and windshield profiles. Kickers go clear back to back of bed.

Stock tail gate with hardware.

SOR fiberglass tailgate NIB.

Stock later model hood. Original split hood gone.

No fenders.

Have fender aprons, have bezel, headlights, radiator, etc.

Engine and axles listed separately.

$2500 OBO, located in Elkhart, IN.

Pictures to follow.
 
Well, Shane has decided that the level of rust that is all-too-familiar to us Midwesterners is more than he was imagining. (My next rig is going to come from Texas, where they don't salt the road to hell.)

I totally respect his decision and his honesty. Honestly, I should be as smart as him and look at potential projects with a more critical eye.

That being said, Todd had expressed interest, in the event that Shane decided to pass.

So, Todd is intending to come and get it here in Elkhart.

Consider it SOLD!!!
 
Yes- Todd came and got it a couple of weeks ago and it now resides outside of Chicago.
