      Thank You for sharing the picture ,, yours is Nice! Mine has a 237 Mack Diesel, 5 speed. It was originally from Baltimore, then a volunteer fire department in East Tennessee got it. A friend of mine owns a rock quarry here in Western North Carolina, he got it because it made his insurance go down, maybe 15 years ago, it was all working. Then the fire department built a sub station near by and they didn’t need it, they let it freeze a lot of the pump. And let it set out and rust the chrome, paint is bad, I removed the bed and had a drive shaft made, I have a reg flatbed on it now, but you gave me a idea, yours looks great. This thing only has 89,000 org miles. But I have WAY too many projects! Not sure what I’ll do with it.

      The hood is good, but the paint is cracked terrible, I have been trying paint remover to loosen it up .

      Hi my first pick up at 1970 was a 55 Chevy half ton and since mine is a 70 mark I decided to make a somewhat copy of a 55 pick up bed it is actually extended wide fenders for a 55 pick up made it a lot easier to put super singles air ride from a 93CH truck under it it’s all quarter inch plate.  Made it fairly easy to build it then  thanks buddy enjoy
