Custom aluminum bed made for this truck at considerable expense with slide-in ramps. twin under-bed tool boxes. headache rack. hidden tie downs. winch. HD hitch integral to the bed. and ready to tow. This is an ex-fire truck from Bellville. IL that has been stored indoors and pampered for most of its life. Still has the original 1955 Illinois inspection sticker on the windshield.
