The only major repair i know of was that it stripped the gears off the original timing chain in 1992 (old nylon teeth gear) and I installed a new timing set for him. I plan on keeping it original but the camper top has to go. The interior is great except for 1 spot on seat driver side stiching came apart (had plastic seat cover on it since he bought it) and he drilled some holes in dash for CB stuff ( He was a truck diver for 37 years) oh and has a/m fm 8 track radio still have the original radio dont know if it will still work yet. When I replace the water pump might put in electronic distibutor and will take more pics.

Did he dive to recover trucks, or did he dive trucks? LOL
Sorry I could not resist. Your lucky to have such a beautiful truck with family history.
