Had been looking for a good truck project for a long time and found my 55 1st series truck in Durango, CO. It has been a daily driver since new. Manufactured in Las Angeles, sold new in Prescott, AZ. Repained in the late 70's and given to the grandson on the original owner. Grandson moved to Durango. Wife and I flew to Farmington, NM and rode up to Durango to return the owner home. Drove this original truck back to Texas (two and a half days @ 55 mph, talk about testing a marrage). It's unusual in that it's a 5 window hydra-matic. Have since replace a very tired 235 with a warmed over 261. Next projects are front disc brakes, 700r4 to improve highway driveability and air (gotta have air in Texas). Truck will continue to be a daily driver (Has the original wood in the bed). It's not a show truck but it's a real truck.
