The Truck was originally purchased by the Nevada Forestry Service in 1957. I have the original 1957 License Plate it had at that time. Terry Rogers was the second owner, who puchased the truck in the 1980's in well used but not too abused condition and totally restored the truck. Terry told me that when he purchased the truck it was totally covered with some kind of very thick white paint that had been applied with a paint brush. The paint was so thick that it had perfectly preserved and protected the body from any rust or damage. Terry did a very thorough restoration of everything from the frame, to the engine, to the running gear, to the Body, and interior. He did an amazing job, the truck looks and runs perfect, everything works. David Johnson from Corvallis, Oregon then purchased the truck from Terry about 12 years ago. David used the truck for parades and car shows in Oregon over the past 12 years while he had the truck. The truck has been well cared for and garaged since Terry restored it back in the 1980's. I purchased the truck in late 2006 and had it shipped by enclosed carrier to my home in Camden, Delaware from Corvallis, Oregon. The truck has 54,900 original miles and drives, operates, and looks like new. Always draws a crowd.
