It is BEYOND COOL - - - that truck is THE PERFECT GUIDELINE for any of us restoring one of these trucks. Shows how things are supposed to look. Don't know if you read or not, but it still had all the tags on the engine bay. Unbelievable find with 14,000 miles.

I've been studying the pics :drool: and I don't think there is a bolt on that truck that has ever had a wrench on it, truly amazing find.
