Trusty farm truck for sale: This pickup belonged to an engine builder in Grass Valley California. His personal rig. He rebuilt the engine/transmission/clutch and then fell ill which forced sale to the old fellow I purchased it from in Live Oak California. He rebuilt the brakes/steering/kingpins and installed a new Drake tank as well as went through the cooling system. He owned it "Since the sixties", never registered it and only drove it around on his property. I have owned it for three years and used it to move plants and material around at my nursery. I sneak it out on the road from time to time but have driven it perhaps two hundred miles. I only keep a gallon or two of fuel in it so its fresh. Exterior is in primer and interior is original black. I replaced the grill with new Drake unit and replaced all fluids and installed a new coil. It runs fantastic. Drives great. Breaks work perfect. Transmission and Clutch shift buttery smooth and solid. The body has usual dings and dents but is solid and shows little but surface rust. The floor has been replaced. Hood is from a '41 and has louvers punched. Seat has been redone in green. Bed floor has been removed and replaced with plywood. Tailgate hinges are rusty. Rust at drivers door bottom and a little on passenger as well.Top rust is only thin surface. It is wired to run but that's it. Wood under cab needs replacing to correct stance. Rear bumper is not original. Hood latch is not functional. Lever shocks switched out at some point. I do not know about condition of gauges or lights. Included with sale is brand new set of glass for doors and windshield. Also new set of tail lights. Also included is correct vintage hood latch for forty including "V8" emblems. The truck always starts and runs perfect. It has been my most reliable piece of equipment since I acquired it. I have no paperwork to prove the rebuild, just what I was told by previous owner and the way it runs. I do not have title only Bill of Sale.
