Originally the truck started as an ambulance from the fire fighters village of Spring Green, Wisconsin 7/13/1961. The next owner was Alan Boucher of Dorset, Vermont and he sold the vehicle with 22,000 miles in 1993 to Ironworks, South Royalton, Vermont. The steel yard later sold at 32,855 miles to a German couple that bought it and drove it to Florida. It was then put into an extensive frame off restoration of which over $50,000 was invested. When I purchased it I had it shipped in an enclosed trailer to Washington State. There were some things that needed some attention that I was able to complete...Mileage now is at 38,523

In the summer of 2016 I entered the truck in the annual 'Snohomish Classic Car & Hot Rod Display' for the class of - 'Stock Trucks All Years' of which it took FIRST PLACE! (Trophy Plaque included in the sale)This beautiful panel truck has also been featured in 'Collectible Automobile Magazine' December 2014 edition (copy included in sale)I have the original window sticker as well.
Everything functions as it should except for the vacuum gauge of the instrument cluster (an easy fix).The body is extremely straight and the paint is in fantastic condition. There are just a few rust bubbles at the bottom of the forward right fender. Other than that this truck is a real head turner!I have stored the vehicle inside the entire time I have owned it.Please review the photos as they speak for themselves.The engine starts right up and purrs like a kitten. The transmission shifts fine through all gears and the 4x4 hub lockers engage with ease.All chrome is in excellent condition.The wood bed was replaced with new wood and finished well.The entire inside of the truck was painted in a beautiful gray paint as well as the dash.
You will not find a finer example of such a rare & unusual vehicle!
