Solid rust free body. The patina is airbrushed on the paint. This truck is not a hack job! It has the original suspension. original engine. original rear end and original transmission. It was bumper to bumper restored around 6 years ago and driven around 8. 00 miles since then. It was a frame off restoration. Take a good look at the pictures and you can see the detail and quality of the restoration. These 5 window pickups are getting harder and harder to find that have not been cut up. They are gaining in value every year. Everything on this truck is in great shape. 235 Engine rebuilt and detailed approximately 200 miles agoOriginal Transmission rebuiltOriginal Rear End rebuiltRebuilt Carburetor. manual chokeRebuilt StarterRebuilt DistributorNew ClutchNew 12 Volt Painless wiring with new style fuse panelNew BulbsNew HeadlightsNew Original Style GaugesNew 39 Ford Tail Lights with glass lensesNew Fuel Sending UnitNew Fuel PumpNew Fuel FiltersFuel cut off valve on fuel lineNew Coker Classic Wide White Wall Bias Ply tiresOriginal Wheel. restoredNew Chrome Hub Caps with Beauty RingsNew Brakes each wheelNew HD Master Cylinder in original locationNew Brake linesLowered 5" in rear (blocks)New exhaust piping. gasket and muffler to rear bumperNew fluids changeNew Petronix ignition concealed in distributor (no adjusting of points. dwell. etc. )New Aluminum Glove boxNew Custom interiorNew Door Panels. headliner. kick panels and new seat foam/coverNew CarpetNew brake. gas and clutch pedalsNew chrome shifting knobNew Windshield and cab corner rubberNew window felts and door sealsNew inside door and window HANDLESNew battery and cablesNew ignition switchNew lug nuts. studs and a lot of other small things that I am probably forgettingJust finished converting the heater to 12 volt with new motor. switch and a squirrel cage blower. Had the core cleaned and pressure tested so system is working better than new. The old blower had a fan blade on it that did not move very much air. I had a new blower wheel that I bought for a 60 model Corvette I previously restored that fit perfectly. I can store pickup and help with your transporter when they come to load it up. Come by and test drive it to be sure you know what you are buying. I suppose the patina could be compounded off if you do not like it. Email me if you have any questions.
