My dad bought this two ton truck around 1962, it was used by the previous owner on the highway, we think probably to haul cattle. My dad used it as a grain truck until 1979 (replaced it with a three ton GMC with a 366). After that it was used around the yard to haul water around, then was parked somewhere in the 1985-1990 area. I used to drive it around the farm to haul water to trees and the garden. It has an easy-shifting four speed and a vacuum shift split ratio rear end and vacuum wipers. There is no radio and a standard 1# volt generator, so there is no electronics on this vehicle at all, no vacuum tubes, no transistors, no diodes.
That is a sharp contrast to my day job which is designing engine management computers for industrial (North American market) and on-road export markets with European emission standards.
