This truck is really dry. Needs rockers and misc hack repairs,front floor is nice as well. I found this truck back in 1997. The older hippy guy would not come off of it. I keep in touch with him and last week he finally offered it up. Got a great deal on it compared to internet price standards,kinda shocked its here! It still has not sunk in yet that I finally got this beast! Now I need to hunt down taillights,bumpers,and get it running. I felt like a little kid the night before,couldn't sleep or stop thinking about it. This is my third 55 single. This one is not going to get away! Very Happy


Well done Smile

Technically that thing is parked Wink.

I saw a white one here in Vallejo close to a year ago. I wonder if this is it.

I'm betting it would be a bit scary to be up there in the Split roof thang when approaching a freeway overpass!
