This truck is in excellent condition considering its age. It was completely restored about 10 years ago and it looks as if it was just done. The paint is still bright and looks great however it does have a few minor flaws. for example a few places look as if something got under the paint but you have to be looking for it to find. The truck is all original. It looks just like it would if you were to buy it new in 1952. You will love the steelies w/ wide white walls & beauty rings. The bed of the truck features a beautiful stained wooden look that is like new. The Body and Chassis of the truck is still very solid. the original straight 6 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual transmission on the tree.
