This 'five window' truck has been given a complete body-off-frame restoration. The all-steel body is finished in factory-correct Seacrest Green with varnished wooden cargo bed lining. Other features include chrome-plated front and rear bumpers, dual front bumper guards, a fully-chromed grille, dual chrome mirrors, and 16-inch body-color wheels with white striping, chrome trim rings and hubcaps, shod with period style Firestone bias-ply blackwall tires.
The 235 cubic-inch overhead valve six-cylinder engine has a single-barrel carburetor and 92 horsepower. There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and a three-speed manual transmission. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts, a new wiring harness was installed, and a new aluminized exhaust system and a recent tune-up round out the mechanicals.
In 2012, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Amelia Island sale presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $35,000 - $40,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for $33,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.
