It was 1974, I bought a yellow 53 5 window long bed 3/4 T from a roofer/ drug dealer. A lot of usless parts and a bag of pot under and behind the seat. Also a 51 1/2T with a lot of bee's and trash a few good tools. Took the cab of the 53 and put it on the 51. The bed was trashed on the 53 and the cab was thashed on the 51. I bought both trucks for $150.00. The 53 had the title. I'm the 3rd owner of the 53. Still have it today. I put it back the same color. Can't believe I remember all this! Steve
