I saw this pickup sitting and rusting in the apple orchard belonging to a friend of mine. He and I car pool to and from work once in a while. I offered to rescue it but he turned me down. He said it was his retirement project. It was about a year later he offered me the truck in trade for tires on another pickup that he has. I took his rims and put new tires on them. I hadn't got a good look at the pickup until I helped load it on the trailer. He thought it was a 1 ton; it a 3600. I am pleased with it all the same. It has a small v8 instead of its original 235. It has some rust issues. Some one added a few extra pounds of plate steel on her, but it's a solid truck. He decided to trade me the pickup because he found out he has cancer. He doesn't recon he'll be around long enough to finish all of his projects.
