I am the 4th owner. I bought it from my buddy a few months ago. He only had it for a couple months, and he bought it from a family friend who owned it since the 70s. The family friend bought it when it was retired from Helms.

My truck has 71k miles, and until my buddy bought it, still had the original motor and trans in it. Now it has a 350/700r4.

On the inside, it still has the wood paneling. It also still has some of the vinyl that covered the exposed metal in the rear. In the wood paneling there are large mounting bolts and some wire. I assume these are for mounting the bakery racks, and wiring for whatever lighting they had. There are also marks on the floor where the legs of the bakery racks were sitting.

There is a strange button under the dash that looks aftermarket, but old. I haven't traced the wires yet, but I assume its for the Helms whistle. On the outside there are some repairs and bondo where the awning would have been. These are on the roof and under the taillights in the back. There are also some places on the doors where the menus may have been mounted.

Right now I am debating leaving the patina as it and putting the logos back on, or painting the truck. I don't have the skill to do the logos myself, and I don't have the money to pay to have them done.

Here are some pics:
