I am picking up a similar one ('45) Weds. or Thurs. and I wish that it had patina that good. http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz296/BAFTUB/IMG_0007.jpg (Lets say it has age-related character: floor holes, door bottom and cab corner holes). -Rick The sooner we get older, the later we get smarter.

A 134 1/2in." wheelbase 1 1/2 ton would be "PJ". Nice truck. Spanky Hardy Collector Of Fine Old G.M.
