Well, I made the deal on the 1963 K60 box truck and I'm happy with it.($700) It made the 10 mile drive home on the highway great. The liftgate works well, it's got new 9x22.5 front tires and the only thing not working is the fuel guage. I figured the motor to be a 292 but am not sure yet. Any ideas are appreciated.

Cool truck! Am I mistaken or is that a 62 grill? Sometimes the big trucks get handled just a little differently from the factory....then again, maybe I'm totally wrong about the grill.

I don't know much about the 60's trucks, I mostly have task force years. near as I can tell it's the right grill.

If you don't use the box they always work good as a storage shed.

It seems like '63 C-50 and larger trucks got a '62 Grille for some reason. The larger trucks also don't have the mesh in the grille like a pick-up has. The grille looks like the correct one to me.

Also want to point out that the truck should be a "C" series.

If original, the engine should be a 292, but if you get the engine code on the pad next to the distributor for us, we can verify what you have.

Nice truck by the way. You sure got a good deal.

I figured it for original, I just thought it was interesting if it was a 62 grill. Pretty cool.

I don't know why I thought it was a K series. I did find out it is a 292. Drove it over the scales today and it was right at 9K. Too bad Oregon registration rates are spiking. I was thinking of registering it for 16000. It was previously registered at 20000lbs.
