I'm back in the game! I started a frame off restoration some years ago. but as happens, life had other priorities. Now that I am retired, I am able to start working on it again. The external sun visor and chrome grill are original to the truck. It is also stock, which I plan to keep it that way.
A little addition to the truck's history. Years ago I had the privilege of speaking with the original owner's wife, and learned of some interesting stories.
One story was that the original owner had a calf in the bed and was driving over a levee bridge when if collapsed! The truck suffered some damage, but was repaired (the original frame was cracked above the rear axle and had been welded with reinforcing, thick angle iron).
