First, a HUGE congrats on getting that truck, that is amazing

The story behind it is priceless along with all the 'trinkets' still inside the truck, ...and the original condition is unreal.
How cool is it, when you can sit behind the wheel and just imagine where the Young (at the time) couple had taken it.
A really neat truck, please keep the pics coming and keep us posted

Thank you, it is really neat that it has everything still inside! Just owning it as a piece of history is awesome let alone the truck!

I got the chance to cut the chain locking the hood shut today! Very nice to see the original engine and mostly intact. I guess he felt the need for the "super high performance dual air filter" and "addon dual snorkel" 😉

...that, ...and the pillow in front of the radiator , ...for those long hauls when you just don't know when you might need to pull over for a nap lol
Joking of course, but either he really was trying his best to seal the thing up, or their last trip was in a cold area.
SO so cool to see all the original stuff on this truck...
