Vehicle Description

originally a L.A. City School maintenance truck Body This truck is
one of a kind full custom The top was chopped 3-1/2" in the rear
and 4-1/2" in the front. I removed the front of the top and fit a
1955 F100 pickup top. This removed the bubble top that was designed
as headroom for a maintenance truck and dropped the top thinner at
the driprail and made a nice smooth top slope. I am a machinist;
