I grew up in Iowa and these trucks could be found on farms all over. They were true American work horses. They built, maintained and improved American all through the 50s, 60s and beyond. It is an honor to keep old trucks on the road. Kind of a Thank You for a job well done.
I bought he truck sight unseen and as expected, got a lot more than I bargained for. It ran and drove but it was far from road worthy. A mild restoration turned into a complete frame off project but the journey was half the fun.
