This solid, dry, survivor was purchase new in Sacramento CA and immediatelyoutfitted as an RV with the application of a cab-over self contained camper. It remained a camper and used assuch until 2004. Stored from 2004 to present under covered barn. Camper was removed earlier this year for the first time since 1973 (camper not included). Inside bed is in remarkably original shape due to the lack of exposure and use.
This example has not been registered and remained largely dormant since 2004. Upon acquiring earlier this year,fuel tank was drained, carburetor wasreplaced, brakes were inspected, and the truck now runs and drives nicely.
