Everybody, Thanks for the input....I think the majority opinion sort of goes along with my gut feeling...the 64 has more hot rod appeal, and that's where I think I'll focus my efforts first. Keeping the 65 as a work truck took on some new significance today, since we ended up having to remove a dead...

Let's just say "a friend" has two Slicks: a 64 Custom Cab LB with a 292 8cyl, 4 on floor. a 65 LB with a 300 I-6, 4 on the floor Each has some plusses and minuses The 64 has some nice straight body panels, but it lived most of it's life in the Northeast, so it does have some rust. Some rus...

Definitely truck.....a mildly hotrodded truck, but a truck none the less. Funny thing, the old girl never runs better than when I am on my way back from a quick trip to the dump or to the lumber yard for some supplies, or to the furniture store to pick up a purchase, or to help a friend move some ap...

I know my speedo is out of cal, since it reads about 55 when I know I am keeping up with traffic that moves at a minimum of 65-70....but I have a 64 with a 292 and a four-on-the-floor of unknown flavor and an unknown rear-ratio. I've always figured that my MPG (or is that GPM!) is in the 11-13 range...

And speaking of the instrument cluster, my 64 has a round dial as opposed to the long side-to-side arc speedo pictured in this truck. Not sure if that's a function of the year or trim level.

Just as I suspected. Many thanks!
Even small victories are good!

I know this is gonna be a no-brainer for this crowd, but can someone confirm for me whether the truck pictured in this ad is a 64 or not? http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/7/2/85282572.htm I thought that the turn signals over the headlights was a later feature, as well as the badge belo...

I'll have to take that under advisement!!! Thanks again!

Thanks for the info......A buddy of mine just gave me a NOS tailgate he bought years ago for his '70, but he got rid of the truck before he had a chance to install it. In a fit of shed cleaning, he unearthed the still-in-primer-brand-new part, and remembered seeing the condition of my current tailga...

forgot to mention.....styleside LB.

Will a 67-72 tailgate fit my 64 without too much drama?
