This pickup is truly a beauty! It has been fully restored with a ground-up restoration. Since I have replaced the, I am unsure of the actual mileage. I can say the truck has not been driven more than 100 miles since the restoration. Her engine, a flat-head six purrs like a kitten in idle but roars and turns heads when you drive her down the road. She has a clear title.

Everything is in original equipment and in good working order with a few exceptions. I have not been able to find a front bumper, a passenger wiper motor, or a rear view mirror. There is no bed included with the truck. I had a new driveshaft made by a professional, to replace the one that was on it that was repaired by a non-professional many years before I got the truck. The frame has been welded together, quite solidly and well done I might add, sometime in the past which was probably the reason for the old repair to the driveshaft in the first place and the lack of a bed on the truck.

I sandblasted each part to bare metal, epoxy-primed them, and then two coats and, in some cases, three coats of Deltron enamel paint. Sorry, but as you can see, these are not the original tires or rims either but they are kind of cool. All of the gauges and the speedometer work properly. The truck was from Arizona originally so during the sandblasting I did not see a single bit of rust, it is still on the six-volt system, and BTW, I had to replace the old battery box holder under the seat with a more substantial one. The seats have been professionally recovered on the original frames too.

The engine runs good and has no known problems.

The exterior is in excellent condition with an amazing shine. All the trim is present and the chrome is in good shape. No cracks or breaks in any of the glass. A very neat feature on these trucks was the crank out windshield for added ventilation...it works fine too. All doors, windows, vent wings and latches work as well.

This car is to be sold 'as is' with no warranty.

Delivery is "customer pick-up" with the car's current location being in central Oklahoma. Payment is to be cleared before title transfer or made by cashier's check at the time of title transfer.
The attached pictures were taken recently and accurately depict this car's current condition.
