Hi Jonas,
Thanks, that's my truck. It's one of nine built in '59 with the short box and the 289 V8. I've owned a 2X4 '59 short box w/289 since '78; I've been looking for it's 4X4 version ever since and found this one for sale last year in California where it spent it's whole life. Apparently it was used as a service truck for a fleet of logging trucks. The truck's condition is overall very good. The frame is in great shape for a 4X4. I've been told it spend much of it's time on the highway. I have some other tires mounted with an aggessive mud tread that look much better than the tires in that picture. I'll see if I can post a picture later. Best of luck on your Scottsman - that's a sweet '59 too!
