1959 W300M is back on the road!!!!

Well after almost 5 years of frame-off restoration, the W300M TV truck is back on the road! Dad and I took it for a nice drive yesterday. It still only has 6800 original miles, and it drives like a dream!

It is a pretty stock truck. During the restoration we added rear shocks and we have an original pintle hitch. It came with a mopar heater and a detroit locker installed in the rear axle.

The tires are 900-16 XZLs. They ride pretty well. I am very happy with the choice!

Check out the photo album for before and after pictures!

Happy new year!
Dan
