So I bought this truck to help out a friend have Christmas money and pay his bills. Even though this is a great truck to drive as is or restore, I have too many projects already and I just need this sell this awesome truck. Being such, I don't have the history on it. I've restored cars for over 30 yrs and seen a full range from sweet to garbage and this truck is definitely in the sweet category as there is only surface rust which gives it a great patina. I do know that does not have the original motor but it runs smooth with NO blue out of the tail pipe. It does shift smooth and clutch is also smooth and not difficult to push. The only issue I found driving it was the brakes pulling to one side but who knows when it was driven on a regular basis. If you need to know more and are seriously wanting to buy, please ask ? And I'll do my best to answer. Thanks!
