This is the start of my sixth year driving it and ithas been extremely reliable. It steers very well due to strong straight frame and rack & pinion steering. It can ride alittle rough on crap roads but that is due to the heavy differential and tires on a relatively light body. truck weight is3440 with 1/2 tank gas. That is the price to pay for the cool look, but for a rat is drives real great, and it steers waybetter than any original 51 truck did. This is my first posting on Ebay so take it easy on me if I screw up, I'll do mybest to assist with questions and shipping help if need be. The truck is fully plated with antique plates and I drive itregularily. I am located in Regina Saskatchewan Canada, that is "Regina" not "Vagina" just to clarify :) For my Americanfriends reading this it is about a 2 1/2 hour drive directly north of your city of Plentywood Montana. It is not listedlocally only on Ebay cause it will depress the &^%* out of me to see someone else driving it here :(
