This vehicle was originally owned by the US Forest Service who used it as a water tanker. I bought it from them over 30 years ago as a work truck. It looked pretty much then like it does now in the pictures. Lots of surface rust; NO rust through except on the passenger door. I made no attempt to pretty it up -- after all it was a work truck. Seat replaced, carpet added. The old anemic 318 is gone. Replaced by a 440 from a 68 Imperial bored 060 over. Only 40K miles on the new engine. Runs Strong. Ready for restoration.
