The FIRESTONE white wall tube tires are fitted to the original rims.This solid truck also has new springs, shackles, shock absorbers, and rebuilt front end all fitted to the finely detailed under carriage. The oak bed is trimmed with stainless steel hardware and finished with marine Water Lox.This beauty starts and runs with no noises, leaks, smoke, or otherwise. It passed New York State's rigorous safety inspection so it is ready to be safely driven and enjoyed.An optional side mount for the spare tire will be included. I also have the original bench seat which would need to be completely reconditioned.A great deal of care, effort, and expense has resulted in a beautifully restored truck that is a pleasure to behold and drive.
