I was told this truck had 60-some thousand original miles on the clock when it was unceremoniously butchered (IMO) a few years ago to create a "resto-mod". All the original torsion bar suspension, engine, transmission, rear axle and wheels were carelessly yanked and scattered to the four winds. What a cryin' shame! How many time-warp 1960 3/4 ton customs with nice, original paint have you seen lately? Or ever? I've seen.... uuumm, let me think.... one. This one!

I know to each their own but what happened to this truck is just plain shameful. It's fun to look at the "before" pics, though.
If this is the same truck ive seen it at Back to the Fifties in Mineapolis...
it is gorgeous. Nicely done, and gets driven quite a bit from the discussion i had with the owner, Hes pretty proud of it, tole me the rear trim is worth $3,000. i just nodded my head and said sure, whatever hahaha.

nice truck though.

all that being said, i bet its getting enjoyed/Used alot more than it would if it was all stock. Just cause its Rare, dosent make it valuable.
