Details

This truck has been nicely restored, including upgrades to make it more drivable. The engine was replaced with a full pressurized 261ci 6-cylinder (unlike the original 216ci engine, which used the oil splash design) with dual single-barrel carburetors and Fenton headers, plus Offenhauser valve cover and matching side cover. The brakes have been upgraded, and 4.11 gears were added. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12-volt, and turn signals have been installed. It also has many options, including the deluxe cab (which is a package containing the 5-window cab, chrome window accents on the outside, and stainless-steel window reveals on the inside doors, interior sun visors, armrests and a chrome grille) and a 4-speed transmission. It's also equipped with two-stage rear springs and 17' wheels and tires. It also has an outside sun visor. Dealer accessories include driver's-side spot light, passenger-side outside mirror, hood ornament and running-board treads. It has no radio, but an antenna has been installed. The truck bed has been rebuilt using beautifully stained oak with chrome bed strips.
