I was wondering if you all could help me make a decision...? I have a ‘61 Chevy truck with 283 V8, 3 speed automatic, short bed & small rear window. However it has ALLOT of rust throughout the bottom of the cab.
I just got a ‘64 flatbed, all original, 250 V6, power breaks, minimal rust on cab, runs OK but needs some engine work. I thought I could swap beds until I realized the ‘64 is a long bed. : S
Here’s my dilemma,
I can only keep one truck.
Which one should I sell? Should I swap parts?
Below is a list of pros & cons for both.

Needs major cab rust repair (floor/rockers/corners/bottom of doors)
