It was sold in January 2017 to L. Beard who brought it to the Carolina Rod Shop in South Carolina. The extensive work done on this vehicle was not only for restoration, but modernization. The engine and transmission have been rebuilt, the transmission has been swapped from manual to automatic, the exterior has been completely restored and rotisserie-painted, and the interior fitted with features to elevate every drive. The Vintage Air air conditioning system is perfect for driving through the southern summer. With an updated radio and easy-close hinges so the doors never slam, all the tiny details turn this ride into a luxury experience. The bed of the truck has been redone in ash wood and stained and sealed in varathane premium carbon gray and the tailgate hinges and chains have been refinished and refined.The interior boasts dark graphite suede and leather bench seat with a custom removable console and cup holders. The vehicle has a beautiful VHX analog/ digital gauge system, air conditioning, a suede headliner and door cards. The hand crank windows roll down easily, and the installed dome light illuminates the darkest corners.
