Vehicle Description
This truck was purchased new in late 1962 in Bakersfield, CA, by a
farmer and remained in the family until the late 1990s. It has
exchanged a few hands since, but spent its life on the West Coast.
It's been completely restored with many upgrades throughout. The
exterior body is very nice and the paint is show-quality. The
beautiful teal color is complemented with scallops that are
multiple colors, including tan, brown and black. The front and rear
bumper were also painted. All of the glass was replaced and is
tinted. Some other exterior features include a custom front grille,
rear LED lights and tow hitch with electrical connection. The truck
sits on 15" Torq Thrust-style wheels with gray centers, polished
lip and spinners. The rear bed was painted and new wood was added.
Additionally, the gas cap and filler were relocated in the rear
bed. The tailgate features custom pull knobs. The entire interior
was very nicely restored and painted to match the exterior. It's
dressed with gray leather throughout, including the sun visors,
door panels, kicker panels and bucket seats. Some other interior
features include a chrome dash bezel, Auto Meter gauges, Ididit
brushed tilt steering column with 15.5" Budnik brushed steering
wheel, billet hardware, custom door sills, Lokar shifter, custom
console with cup holders and storage. It's equipped with a custom
sound system consisting of an Alpine stereo, Kicker amplifier and
Alpha speakers in boxes behind the seats. The engine compartment is
nicely detailed and home to the built 350ci V8 engine. This engine
has a polished Edelbrock intake, Demon carburetor, polished
Chevrolet valve covers, billet air cleaner, custom pulley system,
Mallory ignition system, Milodon oil pump and pan, and Optima
battery with aluminum case. The engine is cooled by a custom
aluminum radiator with electric fan and billet overfill canister.
Breathing through Headman ceramic headers and a Flowmaster
side-exhaust system, it sounds excellent. The engine is coupled to
a GM 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive and a 10-bolt
posi-traction rear end. It's also equipped with a Tuff Stuff power
steering pump. The undercarriage is very clean and has a stainless
fuel tank. It's equipped with a CPP master cylinder and GM 4-wheel
disc brakes. The front suspension has been slightly lowered with
spindles and the rear suspension has air bags that are controlled
manually with air line for simplicity. This truck has recently been
completely serviced and detailed, which is documented with an
invoice. From the MS Classic Cars Collection. **SOLD AS A SET WITH
LOT 413.1 AND 413.2**
