History: This vehicle was originally in a museum in Tucson, Arizona. The museum went out of business and sold off their vehicles. A neon delivery company located in the same city purchased the truck and used it for their business.I purchased it from them and restored it from the abuse it had taken over the years. It has been worked from the metal body up. It is all metal, o fiberglass.It has 2003 power seats from a Ford F-150 Truck. The instrument gauges are reproductions from the VDO Company. The truck's hood tilts forward using the hydraulicsfrom a 64 Falconconvertible with an electric switch under the hood. This vehicle has been used in multiple parades and has won lots of trophies. The goal of this restoration was to create an exterior stock appearance, hile creating a comfortable environment on the interior. As evidenced from the finished product, hese goals have been achieved. It has the following features:
