The 1964 Silver Book sounds interesting. Where would be the best place to find one? (other than E-bay).
If that truck is all original with the original emblems and the original engine, it most likely will be a 409.

Bill:
The 1964 Silver Book does actually list the GVW as a range from 18,500-32,000. I pulled this information directly from the table in the book.
I have purchased 1964, 1965 and 1966 Silver Books on eBay. I believe each of them were under $75.00. Considering the information contained in these books, I would pay twice that for them. If you find one on eBay, check the sellers website, because a lots of times they also have a web presence.
In any case, good luck with the search and thanks for shoring up the information I provided. It sounds like you are quite knowledgeable about the 4-5-6 Chevy big bolts!
Are you a member of American Historical Truck Society (AHTS)? If not, you may check into it. I went to a show last fall in Mackungie, PA and it was very impressive to see some to the pristine big bolts restored to their original glory.
