Great piece of history!

It's a cool truck, but how much would it cost to go through the engine??? That's the million dollar question

[JoshPhelps]

Would you fellas mind to educate a newby? What kind of transmission is this going to have?

Has a road ranger in it

Easy to find a 250 to put in it. Looks like a nice truck

Looks like a worth while project, not beat to death and at the very least parked with the windows up. Tells me the owners care about their equipment. Like GG says swap in a 250 or even drop the pan a have a look see. Be funny if it has a leaky liner and hydro locked. Paul

Tim, did you originally want to say "of story"?

Cool long nose beast for sure!

Yea but I'm thinking it's got to have piston seal and liner damage since they started it and it ran for a few minutes till it tightened up.

Recabbed? I don't think a '64 would have that dashboard.

I stopped and looked at this truck quite a few years ago. There were two there but I couldn't find anyone to talk to the other disappeared a couple years ago. Mike

That dash was what, late "67???

I'm pretty sure that was the timing. This appears to be a 200 series but early 300's had the old dashboard also.

[carlotpilot]

fwiw a 220 with water in the oil - that ran for a few minute then locked up - my bet would be a spun bearing anti freeze if present will seize bearings faster than any thing else.next question is why was the water-antifrz in the pan to begin with . only a teardown will solve

[Joe Ditchkus]

Someone swapped the dash for a 300 series dash. The 300 series dash like the one pictured came out in 1968.There were some early 359's that had the 200 series dash. Certainly a lot of work to put that dash in. Joe D.

After looking at the pictures again I do not think the interior picture is of same truck posted for sale. You can usually see the newer style dash from front of windshield. Joe D.

Yep, not enough dash visible in the exterior pics. I see a 5 speed shift pattern and a lever under the dash of the newer one. I know those levers were used for a variety of things, just wondering if it could be a Huskiedrive.

[Joe Ditchkus]

Green Dash while I was working today I was thinking about the air shift lever under dash sure looks like Huskiedrive to me plus the 5 speed shift plate on dash. Joe D.

Doesn't look like twin huskies on the hood
