The truck has not been restored other than normal maintenance and upgrades over the years. It has new Firestone tires with new inner-tubes. The paint is about three years old and is a satin finish forest green. The interior has new seat covers. It has been converted to a 12 volt system. Based upon the engine block numbers, this is a 261-cubic-inch (4.3 L) which was introduced in 1954 as an optional Jobmaster engine for heavy-duty trucks. This engine was very similar to the 235 engine, except for a different block casting with a larger piston bore of 3.750” or 95.25 mm, two extra coolant holes (in the block and head) between three paired cylinders, and a slightly higher lift camshaft. The truck has a new starter, new generator, new plugs, points, condenser and rotor. It starts right up and runs very well. It handles well with no wobbles up to 60 miles per hour. It has the original three speed manual transmission with a column shifter.
