Almost done with my truck, after several years. Complete rebuild as a Missouri Dept of Conservation Forestry Truck. Still got to install the Motorola Radio!

BAD1916 · 08-05-2021, 02:19 AM

That is awesome! Beautiful truck

**special-K** · 08-05-2021, 06:11 AM

Great historic piece very nicely done! I hope an ATHS show comes near your area so you can show it off properly. It would get lots of love there. A Motorola? Now you're going over the top!

toms68cst · 08-05-2021, 07:12 AM

Now that will get a lot of attention at a show. Very well done! I'd love to see more pictures.

Beautiful truck!

**ThreeQuarter** · 08-05-2021, 07:26 AM

I love it! Good on you for showing everyone what these working pickups looked like new.

What’s the story behind the long mirror arm? Is that related to the spare tire side mount?

**Palf70Step** · 08-05-2021, 08:15 AM

Very Nice!

Willys_MB · 08-05-2021, 09:19 AM

Very nice job! I actually work for a conservation agency and this would be so cool to drive around to different job sites

Great looking truck! I have a 68 short step that was a government truck the same color originally. It has a government plate on the glovebox door.

Nicely done! Someday I'll end up with a place for another truck.

**jocko** · 08-05-2021, 10:33 PM

That is a great looking truck - I've always loved the old forestry trucks for some reason, guess I'm not alone! The whip antenna is the icing on the cake.
