This
truck is owned by David Beane of Oregon. David submitted this
truck in Janurary 2009 and he included the following info:
"This
has the 318 /push button loadflite,HD dash(with SUN tach),anti-spin
diff. ,am radio,dual arm rests,dual visors,power steering,variable
speed wipers , bucket seats(recovered at some point) and a buddy
seat/arm rest in place of the console. all the carpeting is still
in place. I have the original sales paperwork from the dealership
in Oregon, where it was sold as a demo (w/1200 miles on it) The
HD rear bumper,cab marker lights, and the side mirrors were dealer
installed at the time of purchase(May 7, 1965)...One question
I had is,would the buddy seat/armrest possibly have been substituted
in place of the jocky box console from the factory? By the way,
this is a 56000 original mile ,One owner(before me) garage kept
survivor !!! The rubber door weather stripping is still like new.
It was owned by a truck and auto repair shop here in Salem,Oregon
since new, until the gentleman passed away in 2002, and has been
in storage until a month ago when I bought it. Apparently this
was ordered stripe delete, but I am going to put the stripes on
it, just because they look so cool !! Do you know if the stripes
were painted on, or were they vinyl tape? Do you know if they
came std. with 14" wheels? mine has 15" wheels and different
dog dish hubcaps, also I noticed that 'wheels' was one of the
special eq. listed on the sert tag...."
Registry
Notes: the VIN is a late 1964 sequence number and truck was probably
titled as a 1965. the starting sequence number for 65 trucks is
430000. there are no 1965 trucks with 4 headlights that would
have the push button transmission - this truck has a push button
transmission.
