This is not a total “restoration”– no need for that with this truck. This is an amazingly original, rust-free, well-documented survivor, with the original invoice and all the original documentation. It even has the original rare hubcaps, and the rare factory power steering and 4 on the floor.
This truck has been meticulously maintained, and runs perfectly. Has never been in a wreck. Recent brake job. Recent restoration of the interior. This is not a dime-a-dozen modified, rodded truck, it’s amazingly original, with original color scheme inside and out.
