'64 rustbucket longbed former farm truck

[Improbcat]

I've had this truck & been on here since 2012, so I should probably start a build thread. I'm going to try and quickly catch up from when I bought it to now, then try and keep up with the massive rust repair I'm currently doing.

The truck is a 1964 longbed absolute base-model truck. The only option seems to be deluxe heat(which makes sense given it lived in New Hampshire). It is bone stock with a 230 and 3-speed.

My plan is a mild custom that is still very usable since I am restoring a 100+ year old house.




The truck as-bought, just before we drove it 2.5 hours home.


New radial tires to replace the terrifying bias-plys, and wheels repainted white.


I patched the rotted floor edge, and temporarily attached a replacement outer rocker to hide the rest of the rot, this is all goign to get re-done soon.
