Hi Dave it was originally sold out of Dawson creek as part of a fleet sale (I think) but I bought it here locally a few years ago. It runs and drives but need the entire lower back of the cab redone for sure. The rest is quite solid.
I have been picking up parts for it including a correct steering wheel but its just a question of getting to the front of the line to be the next project. My plan is to redo it totally original as they were pretty tough, capable trucks. Not sure how much I'll drive it day to day, as when I had a 72 short box 4X4 years ago, they sure were a back killer!

I might have to put in a set of OEM shoulder harnesses that I acquired just to keep me in the seat!
