I'm about to purchase this 1960. It has a 223 and 3 speed that was converted to a floor shift. I don't have a lot of history on the truck but am looking forward to tearing into it. I'm sure I will have lots of questions as time goes by.

Welcome to the site! Flaresides are not common so good to see another one being saved.

I'm sure you will. The costs of these projects all depend on what you what to do with it. Looks like pretty solid Flareside, if you're keeping the 223, look for a full syncro 3 spd out of a '63 or '64 to make driving easier.

Flaresides are quite rare now, nice to see one being saved.
