Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 104 | I bought this truck in 2007, I saw it in the back ground of a photo while looking for car parts. I instantly feel in love with it so, myself and 2 friends drove to Casper Wyoming to get it. It was sitting in a junk yard with the driver side of the truck in a gully up to the middle of the doors (front and back). It was lifted out with a crane and set on the trailer for transportation back to Minnesota. The original 235 straight six was lockup solid, so a 327v8 was installed to get it running. I drove it for 2 years with the stock 4 speed transmission in it, in 2009 I switched to a Turbo400. This year 2011, I will be swapping the frame for a newer one, disc brakes, power steering and a better rear end gearing for road trips.
