The straightness of the body panels tells you this was no workhorse, and even the paint looks like it could be original. The condition is not showroom perfect, but it still retains a level of shine and detail that tells you it was one cherished pickup. We love the details on this one, too.

Features like the tow mirrors, trailer hitch, and dual fuel tanks are the kind of things that make this looker the ideal one to tow the toys.That exterior pinstriping is also a nice preview of the interior.
