)]Mark, the hard part is going to be finding a decent P1 bed to use on any '63 or '64 Champ you might find. Don't rule out the earlier Champs. You might luck out and find one of them with the P1 bed already in place. The suspended pedals of the '63's and '64's are much ballyhooed, but the clutch linkage associated with the suspended pedals is acutally a bit problematic and not very strong. Of course, it can be remedied. The difference in the front suspension on the '63's and '64's was the best improvement. However, I find the earlier Champs to be very nearly as enjoyable. Good luck in your search. Champs are GREAT pickups![)]
Originally just checking to see if the P1 bed would work so I would know what options I have if I buy the truck and if it cannot be repaired. Thanks again all,
