March 14, 2003 - Photos taken during intitial truck conditional survey.
It's a real bute! May need a little work, but she'll be in fine order in no time, right?
Henry "It's Gawgous" Savage grins in anticipation as he learns that some fool actually wants this thing.
Only one dent in the whole truck, put there in 1989 by Steve as he was bull dozing the back 40 with it...
Note the nice red sterring wheel. Ignore the spider webs, those will be gone when Red gets out the pressure washer. Come to think of it, the pressure washer may get rid of more than just spider webs... Hope it has a "soft wash" setting.
We may need a blanket to cover the bench seat for the trip (and forget about seat belts, they were not invented when this truck was built...).
Yes, tires may need updating.
The salesman has forgotten how to open the hood. "It's got to be in here somewhere. Hope the spiders don't get my hand."
Success! It's one of the few robin's egg blue straight 6 cylinder engines ever made. You can, however, get up to 4 additional passengers in the engine compartment. None of those fancy emission control systems like they have today!
The salesman points out the "modified" carburetor right under the blue air filter (flat silver "converter" is seen). There may be a bolt or a nut missing on it, but we're not sure.
As an incentive, the salesman has offered to throw in a fine lawn tractor at no additional charge!
