Unrestored survivor, very complete and solid. Runs great, with excellent oil pressure and no smoke. Shifts through all gears fine, 4x4 works, hand brake holds well, and the hydraulic brake system works. (Actually the front brakes work, the line to the rear was cracked at two points and has been crimped off, although I believe the rear would work fine with that section of line replaced, it is probably best to go through the whole system before putting it back on the road.)
The sheet metal is very straight, with minor rust on a couple of the tool box seams (see photos) the tool box bottoms are solid and good. Bed wood is original and very solid. While sun faded, it could be sanded and painted for many more years of use. The troop seat backs and brackets are complete and work fine. The tailgate and pioneer tool rack are excellent. It has the blackout light and markers, plus good bumpers and original pintal hitch.
This truck would be an easy restoration... and perhaps one of a kind with the original wood in such good shape.
