Nice! So did you drive it 40+ years before you did the restoration seen below? How long ago was that? We need to see more pics.
I hope to have mine looking that nice some day.

I've been driving it for 46 years, it has not been restored, only repainted. Motor, transmission rear end all original ...not rebuilt.

What a cool truck. The back story is even cooler. You just don't see/hear that everyday.
