wtb - CLASSIC TRUCK

[sluggish]

I'm looking for an older pickup, like 40's-60's. 8 cylinder is preferred. Not looking for an original to restore, but something that is running and driveable. I would prefer something that is 4wd, would also prefer 3/4 ton or bigger, up to a 2 ton, but may consider a 1/2 ton, depending on what it is. Obviously I don't expect that everyone on here has one for sale, but maybe you've seen one or know of one. Doesn't matter if it's an old truck on a new chassis(in fact that may be better). I'm not looking for a show vehicle but decent shape would be nice, this will be a work truck so a mint paint job isn't necessary. Mechanically sound is the most important, or at least not requiring thousands of $$$ in work to make it that way. I'm not in a huge rush, I've got a couple months so keep your eyes open for me. As for budget, it depends on the truck, anywhere from a couple grand to over 10 grand. If it's the right one for me, I'm willing to spend the money for it. Also willing to travel for the right truck. Thanks,

Mike

EDIT**** MAINLY AFTER A PRE 68 POWER WAGON OR A NAPCO BUT WILL CONSIDER OTHERS.****

I drove a 59 chev when I was in high school.

My cousin is trying to sell his 69 chevy. reg cab long box
It has a rebuilt 327 (have receipts) 4spd standard and a 205 tcase.
It is a 4x4 that was built to go wheeling, the body is better than average and it was resotred aprox 8 years ago.

it sits on a 6 inch susp lift and 3 inch body lift, running 38.5 super swampers. the frame has been powder coated along with the diffs and springs. it has a fatory tach and a whole bunch of oter stuff i cant remember.

he wants $6000 for it.
