I'm ex USAF too (well the truck) Beale AFB " in God we trust - all others we monitor" where the U2/blackbirds were deployed from - really interesting history behind all that.
I did find an 60's black and white picture of the base with the planes on the tarmac the aircraft hanger and personnel all going about the business and the teeny tiniest outline of a pick up ( which is so obviously my one)
I'll see it I can dig it out ..

Re: 66 SB Step Side- Ex Air Force Base Truck

I won't bore you but yeah the planets all alined to enable me to get it! I was viewing the build thread of it on a USA forum and then a month or so later it appeared on a UK forum as a fresh import so I offered the guy some cash to part with it as he was reluctant and a month later he drove it to me from Manchester!

It sounds feckin awesome and will set car alarms off if I boot it.... its great having a camper van with 300bhp! The bed is larger than our bed in the house, the missus had to buy King Size bedding for it!

Keep us update fella, i'm so glad you've still got it as you seemed genuinely stoked with it and i'm glad it's in your care.

Take care and stay safe man.
