My not so new truck....but new to me

Bought this truck from a farmer near Taber earlier this year. Mechanicly it is perfect shape, the body needs some help but that can wait. It's my brothers daily driver while he is in college. The truck was never registered since it was bought, which made for some troubles at the registry.

Nice looking truck! Good ole classic Chevrolet.

We've got a 1970 GMC with a wood box that were fixing up. One thing about the old vehicles, their easy to work on and fix.

For a '64, it's not in bad shape. It'll look real sweet once it's fixed up.

Sometimes they can easy. The farmer who owned the truck before basicly did 40 years of cheap fixes. The truck has a International Harvester heater box, clutch rod installed backwards!, car(red block) motor installed about 50% correct, hoses and wires everywhere. He was using it for the last 5 years to power his pivot irrigation system.

The bullet holes in the drivers door are a good indication of the thickness of the steel, we found 2 45 cal bullets in the door. They didn't even go thu both sides. Pretty cool to have real bullet holes, not the stickers everyone else has!

Looks pretty solid for a farm truck, but I guess if it has been nothing but a farm truck all it's life than it hasn't been subjected to all that winter road grime that most trucks spend the first 20 years of their life in before being retired to farm duty.

Since I started working in Alberta I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of older, very restorable vehicles sitting around in farm yards.
