Great truck. I loved them when I first saw them. I will forward Gordon's original email to me when I started mine. Things I have found to be difficult- the body, the body, and the body. I have almost completely disassembled mine, and have replaced the floor, the window boxes, two body side panel sections, and am rebuilding the tailgate, and re-skinning both doors. I am writing an on-line restoration guide for the one we are doing right now. It has fallen behind as I have been spending so much time working on the truck. No every one will need this, but I am restoring mine to last for another 50 years without any work. Mine will be done in time for Y2K, and will be for sale at that time. I agree with the other comments. It is a rare truck, only 8400 having been made, and it IS THE FIRST PRODUCTION SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE EVER BUILT!
