Restorers take note: all 292 six cylinder truck engines were painted green from the factory, as outlined in the original Chevrolet 1965 Owner's manual. Original Paint California truck sold new at Miller Chevrolet in Lone Pine, California per factory Protecto Plate, Owner’s manual and past registration cards. Factory Four Wheel Drive (“K” prefix in vin tag denotes factory built 4WD, not made up four wheeler). Affectionately given the name "Mountain Goat" by Chevrolet. Clamshell tailgate, very dry truck, and all three rows of reconfigurable seats, including optional fold down passenger seat. (Accurately re-upholstered using bolts sourced from SMS Fabrics of Oregon, known for quality material). Factory original rear wooden flooring displays no moisture damage and is immaculate when viewed from beneath. A true testament to the dry California Life this truck has led.

Runs whisper quiet with factory exhaust (recent new tail-pipe). “Granny Gear” first gear for when you are "in the mood". Paint is sunburned though to original primer in some spots, particularly on the roof and horizontal surfaces.
