purchased this TravelAll out of rural Montana from the family of
the original owner, who had recently passed away. When we took
delivery of the truck, we were pleasantly surprised by not only the
condition of it, but how authentic mid-America cowboy-cool the
truck is. It showed up at our facility loaded with goodies,
including a lasso, snake-bite kit, axe, sledgehammer, extensive
tool kit, flares, a coffee-maker, secondary heater, fire
extinguisher, and a ceiling-mounted radio and fan. Handwritten

Overhauled engine and re-installed at 139,330 miles. Body repaired
and painted, top - white foam, bottom - raisin tan May 2014:
Hubcaps re-chromed Exterior: We love the two-tone Sea Foam / Raisin
Tan paint scheme. It's an eye-catching truck, especially with the
Z-pattern chrome side trim and 3-door layout, and the somewhat odd
colorway suits the truck very nicely. Paint was done in 2004, and
presents very well. It wasn't done to a show-level standard, as
there is some minor over-spray on the creases of the
weatherstripping, but presents well nonetheless. Paint has a nice
shine to it, and does not show much of any blemishes really, as the
truck has only seen about 300 miles of road use since being painted
and has been garage-kept. The body is in excellent shape; there is
absolutely no rust in any of the body panels. No bubbles, no
through rust. Even at the lowest points of the corners and inside
the fenders. This car has been in Montana, an extremely dry state,
since new and it shows. There are a couple very light door dings on
the driver's side. Glass is all clear and crack-free. Panel fitment
is great, and all doors/panels open and close without a fuss.
Weatherstripping is in good shape. Tires have lots of tread, but
are older so we'd recommend replacement before much highway mileage
is added. Interior: The original owner really went all out in
making this a do-anything truck. Not only was it loaded with all
the aforementioned gear, gauges were added for oil pressure, amps,
miles per gallon, and altitude. There is a secondary heater
installed on the driver's side under the dash, a fan and radio
mounted on the ceiling, as well as a fire extinguisher mounted
under the passenger dash. The front bench seat wears a canvas seat
cover, as the bottom is fairly worn. The rear and third row seats
are original and not covered. Front floors are carpeted, while the
rest of the interior has rubber-lined floors. Underneath /
Underhood: The underbody is in excellent shape. There is no rust
and no damage. The 264cid Inline-6 and Borg Warner 4spd manual are
not original, and were swapped in in 1969 in place of the original
264cid Inline-6 and automatic transmission. The truck runs and
drives very well. It starts right up first turn, idles cool and
steady, tracks and brakes straight, and does not hesitate under
acceleration. Floor-mounted 4spd manual transmission shifts
smoothly. There are dual full-sized fuel tanks, one on each side.
Since purchasing the truck, we have replaced the spark plugs,
inspected the brakes and replaced the front wheel cylinders, tended
to a coup
