Don't see too many of those now days, but one of my favorite sweptline trucks....the 1968 to 1970.

Think the price is a tad high for a 318 powered crewcab.....if it had a cummis in it I could see that price might be a tad more reasonable.

When I started on mine there was a clean 71 standard cab up the street that I tried to get If It had worked out my build would have gone in a totally different direction.

I absolutely love this body style and in a CC to boot. My dad many years ago was in a 1969 that got hit by a train. Later after rebilatation he purchase a 1979 which I grew up around. I wish he would have never met the train. His 69 was red , 383, 4x4, and a 4spd. I never really appreciated that body style until lately. Of course that's why my next conversion is going to be a 1961 Dodge Town Wagon Power Wagon

Yeah I saw that on CL a few days ago.
I agree with Thrashing, it is a little steep for a gasser, but a very cool truck.

The guy is a little out to lunch on his price but can't blame him for trying!

I love the Sweptlines, I've since sold the 69 crew cab but I plan to cummins convert the 64 (70 front clip) one day. I also use a 67 Fargo w200 as my daily farm truck

Gyman I love the farm truck, I guess rust isn't an issue up there eh? I use my '77 M880 for my farm truck. Ocassionaly my 1951 B-3 Power Wagon but I guess it is leaving the family now unfortunately.

Those Sweptside crews are a hot item now, not just for Cummins conversions either. Unfortunately their body design appearantly was to create as many compartments as possible to hold mud, muck and water so they are fewer and fewer down here.

Like our 1st gens they have a look that just appeals to people. When I see one with 33's or 35's lifted I start to droll... I don't care if they are crews or reg cabs. They are starting to get to the flat fender level as far as badazz goes. Just my opinion.

No rust is a big issue here, the 67 farm truck came up from Montana in 1996 and has never been driven on the highway in the winter so it's never seen road salt

The 64 I bought in Iowa, the dentist previous owner spent a lot of money getting a body shop to change all rusty panels and welding in new stuff
