front of the truck, which has a big steel grille, squared off
design with wide hood and large fenders with exterior mounted
headlights and small running boards under both doors for easy
access. A deep pickup styled bed in full metal. Some stake sides
create a higher boarder and allow for more cargo. Two small doors
