[DamnYankee]

'67. And it's a step side - I'd prefer a fleetside. Sweet little truck though.

I believe it was a long bed. Could be wrong though. Still have to pay down on mine just a little though anyway...

Ahh but i have met her, and Moze you shouldn&#39;t do it, if anything 6.0 it&#39;s a lot cheaper then buying another truck

[DamnYankee]

Well, here&#39;s the deal:

1.) I don&#39;t want or need an extended cab anymore.
2.) I don&#39;t want or need 4wd anymore.
3.) I want a truck I love, not like.
4.) I&#39;ve always liked older cars and trucks and would love to have one similar to those above.
5.) I can buy one similar to the above in good shape with a decent powerplant for around &#036;10k and drive it as-is until I&#39;m ready to have a 6.0 or LS? dropped in it.

but then you have the comfort issue, do you really want to drive to and from work everyday, in a late 60&#39;s truck, if you can find one with a/c that works i would go for that

[b]Comfort is HUGE on the list. Think about how hot it is.

I am with the DON&#39;T DO IT side.

Yeah, it would definitely have to have A/C and hopefully disc brakes. The suspension can always be improved if need be. New weather stripping to make it quieter if need be. Some sound-deadening material in the cab if need be. I&#39;m ready for another project and I think it would be fun. I had a 64 Rambler American I was going to stuff a 390 in years ago but never had the money. I had a Plymouth Valiant Scamp I was going to "fix up" and never had the money to. I might get sick of an older truck in 5 years - who knows. It&#39;s just something I want to do.

AC can be installed. Comfort can be obtained.
