The obvious thing he should do is load the bed on his truck and drive to Chicago to give it to Gumby.

That works it gets it up here in the midwest.

 

[D'Animal]

early/large lug nuts

lots of carry over parts from '62, like Whitey said very early '63

definitely one of the unique 45's. one step away from a 28

 

[onemanarmy]

yea...what rust?

beautiful....nice score.

 

[Gumby]

There was a 64 on Bring A Trailer.com recently. One of the comments was "that truck is no unicorn. There was at least a half a dozen of them around where I grew up."

yeah, no. I'll bet there weren't too many dealers that every saw a half dozen of those in total, let alone all at once. That truck is a nice rare score. Well found.

The one on the auction site was a csb conversion, but very clean and recently restored. It went for $50,100.

It was also in Lily White, as all the best ones are.


Are your front springs whupped or are you pulling the front down with the tie down straps?

 

[Gumby]

I have the defroster vent that seems to be missing from the drivers side that I can't ever seeing me putting back in since I put hinges in my w/s if you decide to put it back in.

 

[D'Animal]

So I went through the coffee cans of misc stuff and found a few things.

Are those some Uber Rare bolts?

[apeterson]

Very cool!!

 

[OilHammer]

Those bolts look like the drum brake backing plate deals IIRC. I think I left mine out too but it's been years since I have opened one up

 

[ctcv1984]

God dang, very cool. I'd love to know the back story behind that pipe wrench, oh, and the bullet hole too.

 

[3_puppies]

I was thinking the bolts are for locating the drum to axle but they are straight not phillips

 

[calstyl2]

Damn you Dan, I knew where that truck was, buddy had a fab shop in that yard, built my current car.
I knew those RVs were behind those gates but no idea about the 45 in there. I had a 64 with fixed cab,
