64 Rust Bucket Budget Revibe
I picked this truck up a few weeks ago, 64 SWB I6 3 speed. Been tinkering on it here and there, got the brakes working, new manifold gasket and exhaust. Got it pulled in the garage last night and figured the bed would be as good a place to start as any.
Im not planning on sinking much money into the truck. My plan is to get it where it will drive down the road without anything falling off, lower it, white walls, clean the cab up, etc. Got the bed pulled off the truck last night... |

Re: 64 Rust Bucket Budget Revibe
Plan on picking up some sawmill rough cut timber over the weekend to use for the bed floor. As for the lower edge's of the bed skins being beyond repair, Im going to use angle iron to reinforce them.

Re: 64 Rust Bucket Budget Revibe
Got the old seat pulled out last night after picking up a second row seat from a 99 Tahoe. Had to modify the seat frame and brackets that bolt to the transmission tunnel but overall Im happy how it turned out. The headrest sit just almost perfect with the back window. Plus cup holders
and two seat belts from a short bus...On a side note I would highly suggest using the 2nd row Tahoe or Suburban seats for anyone looking to swap. I searched and searched for a descent shape 95-99 Silverado bench seat and had no luck. Everyone I looked at was in as bad of shape or worse than the one I pulled out of the truck.
