Looking at an early Sweptline

[WV1964]

Hello all, from West Virginia. Been truck shopping and came across a 64 W200 that I'm trying to learn about before making a purchase.

Thanks and looking forward to wandering around and doing some searching.

Well gang, as seems to happen more often now... Guy chose to sell the truck this morning after we had communicated for a week and set up times for me to come look tomorrow and complete the transaction.

So it goes these days

The search continues

Thanks y'all for the greetings

When the time is right, it will happen. No reason to leave of course.

Update....

Well, I tried very hard to find a Dodge to fill the need for a full size truck. Market was tough and a lot of "not what it looked like in the ad" trips and "I just sold it" when I thought there was an agreement in place or just had a few things that would prevent me from just driving it home.

So, this time I took time off work and didn't try have the seller wait for me over the weekend.
Cash is king, as they say. Apologies to the guy who was going to "come up on Saturday to look at it". I've been that dude on several occasions.

Yeah... It's not a Dodge. Sorry MOPAR peeps.

Last year that Ford actually put out a good truck. Flat out sick n tired of dealing with 08 and newer Ford crap at work which is why im an "old Dodge" hold out I'm building my next truck, out of one of my old trucks. 83 d250.

Welcome! A 1964 W200 is a good classic truck, but since it is an older model, it might need some fixing. If you are looking for more reliability in a truck, consider a Ford truck from that era. Ford trucks are known for strong engines and their durability. Compare your options first before making a decision. Good luck in your search!

Sorry... Can't say I agree so much about the ford..

I still have my 97 2500 Dodge Cummins powered truck. Only 140k miles on it. Could use a paint job on top but that's the reason I got it cheap back in late 2001. I kinda miss the truck that's in my avatar but man, that thing was slower than my old 71 Super Beetle running on 3 cylinders!
