Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

heres the story behind it..
Robert wins a prize..of some sort..haha
it is a original California rig
the story goes it was bought new by a hippie beach bum that used it for beach camping
it had a slide out bed with a slide out kitchenette under it
it was originally black and white from the factory..somewhere along the way it got painted this teal or whatever color it is
one oddity i found from the LST was it was special ordered without the 2nd and 3rd row seat.. so i guess it was planned for camping from the start
i want to add at least a 2nd row seat, so ill have to figure something out for that
the next owner bought it and drove it to Wash state..
he parked it in the shed in the pics..its sat there ever since 96 ..the next owner bought it and it was hauled to Oregon.
this is where i bought it from..this owner hauled it to Colorado, where i picked it up and hauled it to Alabama
it does have some rust issues..but mostly just the front floorboard..it will have to be replaced
there are some small areas behind the rear wheels thall need attention
and the bottom edge of the rear hatch has some soft spots
but overall im very pleased with the condition of it
