She is not perfect, and she has the wear & tear that you’d expect from an unrestored 46 year old truck. She runs well and I would not hesitate to drive her most anywhere. Although the top speed is about 55 MPH.
<o:p> </o:p> The top is brand new and has been on the truck less than 2 months. It is made of Modern Hartz Stayfast canvas from an original pattern. The frame work is all original. A couple of pieces had to be straightened and it was all freshly powder coated. The total cost of the top was over $2,000.

This is truly a unique truck, and a good candidate for restoration or just heading out to the trails.
