Welcome Louie, looks like your truck is way ahead of some of our trucks. So you bought from the original owner? Did he actually own the truck for 49 years?

From what I can tell it belonged to a company in Kansas that used it to deliver glass, it was in use until 1993 then put in the garage and driven about once a month. I was very suprised to find it in such great shape. I have discovered only 2 small dents ( one in each fender ) and a small amount of rust on the drivers side floor, not rusted thru but a 2 inch area that is paper thin. I will take some pictures this weekend and attempt to post. I also discovered i have alot to learn about these old trucks...
