1965 Dodge Other Pickups

This is a 5 day listing only. If you're serious. let's deal.     I bought this truck a couple of years ago with the intent of restoring. I started some work. but now have lost interest. The truck is solid and straight. but will require a bit of work to bring it back to worthy condition. I have only found one patch of body filler behind the driver's door. but readily admit I haven't done a thorough inspection. The truck is solid underneath and appears to have no structural damage. I can't be sure. but if I was a betting man I would say this truck is possibly a CA truck it's entire life. Very restorable.  It was running and drivable up until parked a few months ago. When I was parking it beside the house. I noticed a puddle of coolant under the truck when I shut it off. Possibly a split hose or radiator. I never looked into it. There is no battery in it. it died and was not replaced.  
It has a slant six motor and a three speed tranny with column shifter. I have an automatic tranny and complete factory set up including cables and dash shifter. The carburetor has been rebuilt. Motor runs very well. I have no idea of the current miles on the truck. Tranny linkage has been adjusted and shifts relatively well. Clutch is good.  
I rebuilt the brake system and installed a new master cylinder. all new steel brake lines. and new wheel cylinders all around. The shoes and drums were okay so I left them alone. BTW I did replace the left hand thread lugs bolts on the driver's side drums to right hand thread. Makes things easier that way!
I rebuilt the entire front end to include king pins. tie rod ends. steering gear box (which I might add is unique to this vehicle and very hard to find or get parts for). Leaf springs disassembled. cleaned and re-installed with new bushings and shackles. The rear springs were also done at the same time.  The drive shaft has a rebuilt ball and trunnion joint. (another rare piece).  
Inside I installed a pair of seats and 3 point belts from a later Dodge Neon. There is an after market steering wheel. There is no radio. but the wiring and speakers are there. All door and window rubber seals will need to be replaced. but they are readily available. All glass is good.  
I have numerous spare parts for this truck. to include a new complete 12 circuit wiring harness. There is no heater in the truck. but I have one. I can't remember if there is a heater core or controls.  I have e a second steering column jacket without a shifting lever to use if you put in the auto tranny. I have a pair of correct wiper arms. hard to find). but no blades. There are more parts that I can't remember. Everything goes with the truck.
I  had this truck on the road when I first purchased it and it drove well for a 50+ year old truck. The suspension repairs I made greatly improved drivability. People would honk and give thumbs up where ever I went. It is a fun truck and would make a great shop truck for any automotive oriented business. These are rare and are getting harder to find. This truck. as stated. is very solid and would be an easy restore.  
I will tell everyone. I DON'T NEED to sell this truck. but I would like to see someone get it and bring it back to it's original self. I'm asking $8000. 00 or best reasonable offer. Please. no scammers. low ballers or BS. I know what I have. and know what it's worth. If you would like more info. please ask. I'll be more than happy to help. If you'd like to call. 559-280-1364.
I may be able to deliver this truck within 250 miles for a to be determined and agreed upon fee. Please ask. if needed. Otherwise all shipping will be buyer's responsibility. I will assist from my end to the extent that I can.
A $500 non refundable deposit to be made by Paypal within 48 hours. Balance to be paid in cash or cashiers check when picked up. If I deliver. all payments will be completed prior to my departure.  


I see with just a bit over two days left. there are 35 people watching this item. If anyone is seriously considering this truck. please don't hesitate to give me a call and get more info. This really is a nice. solid vehicle. Don't let the price scare you away. Shoot me a good offer and see if we can work out a deal. You may be pleasantly surprised!!
