Pearl was originally a Texas farm truck. She came from the assembly plant in St. Louis,MO as a basic stock truck with no options. There is not one piece of chrome anywhere.That is why I knew that this was the truck for me at first sight.I really appreciate originality so the plan from the start was to keep her a stock survivor. I have always felt that the small dents and dings just add character. New tires have been added, along with new wood in the bed. A protective paint job is planned soon. Upon retirement my wife and I plan to move with Pearl to our riverside cabin in Mississippi and live the small town country life. truck album

I tried the link but it did not work. We do like pics around here.

I am having problems linking photo's. I enter s962.photobucket.co/albums/aeio3/trainer5151/ . I then click OK and it ask me to enter the title of the website you are linking to. What do I enter at this point? Please help.

And thanks for the help linking the photo's.(rix65) Don't expect Pearl to visit Fred, she is a flatlander from Louisiana. The altitude change would be too much for her. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 12 | Kevin
You have a great looking truck and I think I have its brother. I also have a blue 1965 short bed stepside, the truck was from Texas. I appreciate the the old stock look of these pickups. | | |
