This truck came to California from South Dakota where it had been sitting in a field. It was purchased by Joe Gonzales and brought to Lucerne, California where it apparently sat for about 10 years in the dry desert air. It appears to have about 35,000 miles on it and is pretty much unmodified. It still retains its original unmolested drive train. Although not in great condition, it has very little rust and is a reasonable starting point for a project. I was able to get the truck running by doing the usual maintenance things.
