Great news! I reacquired my old crew cab.

[bluefury361]

Some of you may remember I traded my beloved 1964 D200 crewcab for Virgil. It was 10 years ago after I had owned it for 12 years.
Well.... I have it back. My friend Jim took a few liberties with it, like swapping out the original tired 318 for a crate 360 and a couple other minor
changes. I get the original engine with the deal and it will eventually be rebuilt and swapped back in. He never did put much mileage on the truck.
A new set of tires, a complete brake job, a little work on the original interior and some serious detailing will whip him back in shape.

Sweet Will. Love happy endings like that.. she can be your tow rig for Virgil..

That is a wicked cool truck, must be great to have it back

Very cool truck Will!

 

[commando1]

I admire you, Will.
You just can't stop, can you.

 

[live4theking]

That would be a cool truck.

I guess the prudent thing to do is convert it to a dual master cylinder, although it has traveled over 170K with no failures. I have a new disc brake dual cylinder. Will see if it will work.

Originally had a treddle vac booster with separate brake cylinder mounted on the driver side frame rail. The cylinder leaked fluid into the vacuum chamber and I bypassed it long ago. Never seemed to effect pedal effort.

Will, what do you think about painting it the same two tone paint scheme as Virgil.
Would be a killer tow vehicle for Virgil.
After the dual master cylinder of course, lol.

Ya never know Matt. He's a great road truck.

Have you got a contact number for Craig? Perhaps he can help me with some brake parts for the crew cab.

Wasn't this truck! I never did offer it for sale. Never would. Jim offered a few nice vehicles to trade, including a very nice, (and tempting), 67 Coronet 500 w/383. It was Virgil that spoke to me, My dream car, (another story).

Same truck, guaranteed. Alabama, short crew cab, red/white. Absolutely the same truck. I guess it wasn't actually "for sale" at that time, but I can guarantee 100% this is that very truck. Either way, you have it back, that's cool.
