Greetings,
Earlier this week, I randomly purchased a 64...so the owner says. I'm not at all familiar with the early ones, so will have many questions as I move through this. I'm going to pick it up on Friday. Not much of a back story, other than the current owner has had it in his barn about 8 years. He purchased it off his buddy that had it in his barn for about 20 years. Both had intentions of restoring it, but neither did anything.
The engine is said to be seized, and is completely dismantled in the back of the truck (where it's been for at least 28 years). There is no drive train currently installed. There are tubs of parts lying in the truck. I have no idea how much is original, and how much is not. When I went to look, it shows the original seats in coral (front seems to be pretty torn up), though I could not see much due to the entire truck being full of random parts. Also, I have no idea how complete everything is until I get it home next weekend.
Owner said he does have the original wheels somewhere. Once I get it home, I'll be excited to sift through the stuff inside and see what all is there. Here are a few pictures that I have.
Thoughts/comments welcomed. I have been reading through some of the early threads, but I will have a billion questions, no doubt.
