No, it wasn't military, it was used as a carpenter's truck and has lived in Southern California it's entire life as far as I know. I bought it through Bill from Bill's truck shop in Ontario. I used to live in Canada, and have always stayed in touch with Bill over the years, and when I was looking for a Burb, he knew where he could get a clean one and he hooked me up. I had it shipped back here and payed more for a junker than I ever have, however, it was well worth it and would have paid more for parts and time in the end. I am using a bunch of original pieces in the truck, so it was well worth it. The truck was the guy's grandad's who I bought it from and I have the Cali title as well.
