Those were the daZe!    My original owner 63 sn 00099 was the ungodly sum of 
$800....you could buy them on the lots for $695...all day long....

Parts??     Never being a truck person....I finally  got to where no one had 
a loaner any longer...all being use to go to the desert / river....GRRRR!

Bought a 1966  Calif. State 1/2 ton Chevy that some MC  has poked it in the 
side....  230-6 pg / 3.73's  $35 at auction..

Already paid $50 for a  61  300hp 327 / pg.......so in it went..........still 
not enough power.....so I looked in the paper and bought a 375hp 
396..$300!!!!  had to pull it out of the car......guy had gotten too many tickets....and 
had wrecked the Dana Camaro it came in.....sold the 327  to his neighbor..who  
came over and we did the swaps together...all 3 of us!

So I ended up with a truck for under $500......that would pull like a rocket 
sled.............oh  and gas was only   $0.35@ gal .still!
