can you identify the year?

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 ... 282572.htm

I thought that the turn signals over the headlights was a later feature, as well as the badge below the body side molding, vice above, like my 64.

I sent this guy a really polite note, pointing out what I thought could be a very innocent and honest error in his ad (no big deal, really) when I was met with a rather abrupt one word reply....."1964." Still not a really big deal, but now I at least need to know for my own personal vindication, so I turn to the knowers of all Slick knowledge......

Thanks! Mark

I just sent him an email, let's see what he says..lol

1965, but might have been built in late 64. Some states issued titles for the calender year, not model year.

And from the looks of it, I wouldn't give $1600 for it, rust showing, whats underneath?

I have gone before on that web site of Collector Car & bought trucks there & always noticed that this place always have about 5-6 different slicks at times,,, One thing I did not see is no VIN # I like to see the Vin # to see what year it is really & also like to see the door on the drivers side to see if it has been altered especially the rivots have been changed I have seen so many on E-bAy that have been changed or VIN Tag with different wheelbases than what the truck wasa really

1964 with a 1965 grille, dash, and possibly a twin-I conversion?

That truck has been there for a long time, I think. Here is I.D. by front end:

Nice, Big M....

Someone might take you seriously though!!

Its a 65. Could be an early one and the seller is just ignorant and reading what's on the title. Ask him to verify what sort of V8 is in it. That might be interesting, as it should be a 352 if its a 65 or a 292 in a 64. A pic of the engine bay would be very handy and finish the controversy for good......

Anyhow, ain't worth $1600 unless by some miracle there is far less rust under it that one would expect judging from the various dents and damage to the rest of the truck.

Look real close at the front on pic & ya can see the center mount for the twin I beams too. . . . .
Could be an early built 65 sold in late 64 then registered as a 64

If you look at the steering column, the earlier trucks were offset from the instrument cluster. This truck definitely has the steering column centered on the cluster.

It's a 65, the guy is full of, well you know.......

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.

It is very common for a truck to be tagged or titled one year older than the model year. Its a 65. 65 grille, twin I beam, 65 gauge cluster,65 dash chrome trim, 65 Column, 65 fender badge says twin I beam instead of hood badge that says 100.
Its a little rough but it has potential. Remember asking 1600 it could probably be had for 1200 or so. I hate to say it but the days of the cherry $300 old anything are long gone.

That's the Custom Cab instrument cluster, used in 1965 and 1966.
