On Jan-27-12 at 14:49:39 PST, seller added the following information: TO FURTHER ADD TO MY DESCRIPTION OF THIS FINE TRUCK THE TIRES HAVE 99% OF THEIR TREAD WITH MOST OF THE TITS STILL REMAINING ON THE TREAD. THE NEW GLASS IS TINTED ON THE REAR,DOOR AND WING WINDOWS.NOT SOME LAY ON TINT,THE REAL STUFF AND OF COURSE THE NEW FRONT GLASS IN NON TINTED.I ADDED PICTURES OF THE ENGINE AND AS YOU CAN SEE NO SHORT CUTS WERE TAKEN.THE CARB HAS BEEN REBUILT ALONG WITH NEW PLUGS AND WIRES,POINTS AND OF COURSE CAP AND ROTOR AND RADIATOR HOSES AND HEATER HOSES.THE COMPLETE UNDERSIDE HAS BEEN STEAM CLEANED WITH THE TRUCK ON A HOIST TO ENSURE A GOOD JOB WAS DONE.I ALSO ADDED A PICTURE OF THE FLOORBOARDS.AGAIN THE FLOORBOARDS ARE ROCK SOLID WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN THE "ENTIRE" FLOOR WAS COATED WITH POR-15 TO KEEP THEM SOLID FOR ANOTHER 60 YEARS.I ALSO ADDED A PICTURE OF THE BED WHICH HAS A STEEL PLATE PROTECTING THE ORIGINAL BED FLOOR AND YOU CAN SEE THE FACTORY WOOD IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE VERY LEFT PLANK HAS SPLIT SO REST ASSURED THERE IS NO ROT IN THOSE. AND ADDED IS A PICTURE OF THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WITH THE BODY WORK STARTED.I WANTED TO SHOW THAT THIS JOB WAS'NT SIMPLY A SCRATCH AND SPRAY JOB....THE HISTORY THAT WE HAVE ON THIS TRUCK IS THAT IT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN GREAT FALLS MONTANA BY THE OWNER OF A TRAILER COURT AND RESIDED THERE FOR MANY YEARS,THERE WERE LICENSE PLATE TABS INTO THE 60'S FROM THERE AND COPYS OF REGISTRATIONS THROUGH THE 50'S WHICH ARE GOING TO BE KEPT.THEN IT WAS PURCHASED BY A GENTLEMAN A FEW YEARS BACK FROM MISSOULA COUNTY AND DROVE IT VERY LITTLE UNTILL LAST FALL SO THIS EXPLAINS A LITTLE BIT ON WHY THIS TRUCK IS SO TIGHT AND WHY IT DRIVES SO WELL. AS WE ALL KNOW THAT A OLD CAR OR TRUCK IS OLD AND AT TIMES CAN'T BE TRUSTED NOT TO BREAK DOWN BUT AS TIGHT AS THIS ONE IS AND WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON IT RECENTLY I WOULD FEEL GOOD ABOUT DRIVING THIS TRUCK JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE WITH NO WORRIES. HAPPY BIDDING!On Jan-27-12 at 14:59:40 PST, seller added the following information: ONE MORE THING I FORGOT TO MENTION IS THE SEAT IS 100% PERFECT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A 4-5" PEICE OF THE PIPING WHICH HAS BECOME WORN WITH AGE.THERE ARE TO RIPS,TEARS,OR WORN SPOTS IN THE SEAT EXCEPT FOR THAT AREA OF THE PIPING,AND INSIDE THE SEAT IT STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL HORSEHAIR MATERIAL WHICH WAS ORIGINAL TO THESE TRUCKS SO JUST A LITTLE MORE TO SHOW LOW MILES AND USE THIS TRUCK HAS HAD.On Jan-27-12 at 16:23:00 PST, seller added the following information: I MADE A TYPING ERROR ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SEAT.THERE ARE NO RIPS OR TEARS IN THE SEAT,JUST A SMALL PEICE OF PIPPING GONE.
