I went and looked at the '64 single cab last night and had to pass. It needs more work up front than I am willing to do. I still have enough to do on the '71. I said I would pass along the info so here it is. I guess these things aren't as rare as I thought (this is the only one I personally have ever seen) so you might not want to trek to the middle of the country for it. Please reply to the phone number below. I told the owner I would post this. I drove the thing a mile or two. Brakes were very soft. He said he had had them worked on recently. Maybe they just needed bled or adjusted again. Engine had a tick. I don't know if it was an expensive noise or just a valve a little out of adjustment. I didn't get a chance to run a compression test. He said the motor is out of a '68. It looked a lot like my 1600 so I guess he might be right. Had a new voltage regulator. It is still all 6 volt. Exhaust is fairly new, I didn't check out the heat. It did have heater boxes. It had a reasonable amount of power. Nothing like my '71 racer. :) The steering box is on the way out. It has a 'tight' spot in it. Maybe it isn't the streering box. It is lacking interior door panels, headliner is shot. The paint is orange-red and fairly fresh. I don't know exactly how much rust or bondo it is hiding. There was some bondo looking stuff flaking on one of the rear corners. There was evidence of rust under the right windshield that had been painted over. There was also some rust up under the wheel wells in front of and behind the rear wheel. You had to poke around there to find it. Jack points looked strangley solid. It has the original front turn signals but they have been moved to the front bumper. I don't know why. Maybe there was rust where they were supposed to be. I guess that is about it. I am sorry I didn't check it out more closely. After the drive I knew it needed more than I could afford in the short term so I lost some interest. He said he would be happy to see $800-1000. The car is located in Lincoln Nebraska, one hour southwest of Omaha, three hours northwest of Kansas City. The owners name is Phil Tegeler 402-421-3748. -- James A.
