Thanks for the thoughts and ideas guys. From what I'm told, the Brewster green paint is original and never been touched. I do hope the Vin Tag is with it as I have not been there to look - I have been told that there is a stack of original documents...
Bill, I live in Manitowoc - not too far from you.
I've attached more photos of the truck. For years I've been telling my father-in-law to put a modern chassis under the truck and a V-8 engine, but now that it's mine I plan to clean it up, get it running well and drive it just as it is!!! Although I do like the look of the wide white walls on these trucks...
