rick harper Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 thanks for the compliments. the engine is the original for this truck. it is a END673.its scary to think how original this truck is. we thought we had sold it new in 1960 when we opened our doors, but thru investigation thru the museum it was sold in october of 1959 out of okla. city. we opened our doors in feb. 1960. im the 3rd owner of this truck. will keep posting new pics.
