Details

This Model 80 pickup has been fully restored with quality paintwork, precise fit and finish and nice chrome. While this was considered a mid-sized truck for its day, it is still a substantial machine. The 20-inch wheels (dual in the rear) are painted in matching red with silver rims and wrapped in period-appropriate tires. High-quality chrome adorns the bumpers, grille and minimal body trim. The large cargo bed features nicely refinished wood planks. The cabin has been restored yet remains true to original with heavy-duty green upholstery, rubber floor mats, a two-tone green and cream instrument panel, a full complement of chrome-rimmed gauges and a large steering wheel that presents nicely, though does show a few cracks. The raked-back split windscreen opens independently for driver and passenger. Beneath that long hood is a QX-series inline-6 engine sourced from Hercules engines of Canton, OH, matched to a 4-speed manual transmission. It runs well and is well-detailed in industrial gray with gloss black accessories and proper wire-type hose camps.
