his truck was owned by a farmer here in northeast Iowa for the last 37 years. I was told that he used it on his farm and around his little town of Hawkeye Iowa. He passed away and the truck was offered for sale at the estate sale august 12th this year. After inspecting the truck and talking to his wife, She informed me that he loved driving it and he used it up until 8 months ago when he became ill. I bought the truck, brought it to our shop, and did a tune up to it along with a new master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders. The truck fired up on the first try.
I noticed the headlights, parking lights, dash lights, horn, interior light all work as video shows. The glass was good with no cracks. The windows go up and down. It has the original seat with good support. The body is original paint with no body work done to my knowledge. VERY RARE to find something not messed with body wise and something so solid. It IS ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE! Watch the video, look at the pics and appreciate how much of a solid survivor this truck is. Ielected to leave the original patina and paint and preserve it with two coats of clear coat. I did not want to use the original gas tank as it probably needs to be cleaned out, so I ran it off a aux tank (original tank is there). Tires are older but do hold air, spare should be replaced. The box is the original wood. The truck drove 45 mph with no play in the steering and shifted all gears like it should. The truck stops good. As the video show the gauges are working but the needle on the speedo is broken. This truck in my opinion is ready for you to use as a daily driver with a little TLC to the level you want it.
It comes with a clean iowa title matching the vin tag ready for you to register. There are no knocks or abnormal noises in the engine I can detect. runs smooth. As everybody has their own opinion on what a 68 year old surviving truck should be, I recommend coming to inspect the truck or hire ebay to do a independent inspection for you, (note this should be done before the auction ends and not after.) make sure to study the pics and video so you see what you are getting.
The aux tank, plates and plate toppers do not go with the truck as they are part of my personal collection. I require a non refundable 500 dollar paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction end, if I do not get the deposit within the time frame or before you come for the truck, I will assume you are a dreamer or a scammer and not serious about buying it.I can help recommend shippers i have used in the past who have been very reasonable.If you have any questions at all, call me563 568 5111or563 568 1186! thanks
