It is a fairly rare truck with the E81 wood bed option. In looking more closely at the VIN tag I realized it is a 78', for some reason I had 79' stuck in my head. I'm guessing someone installed the brakes from a 1-ton onto this truck. The spring perches and shock mounts are factory and not re-welded.
'78 built in Janesville.

I was going to comment if it was a '79 built in Flint I might have seen it go down the line!
