It's not native to Alberta, that's probably why it's not completely rotted out . As he related it to me, the previous owner brought it up from the southern US, then it sat for 5+ years waiting its turn in line until he realized he had too much on his plate and it should go to a new home. I don't think he was real happy watching it go on the trailer, but he still has a couple more '78 440 trucks in his collection for solace that are not for sale. He sold a '78 D150 longbox 440 the week before this in Citron Green and white with a factory sunroof....I didn't get there in time to have a look at it but by the pics it was a truly cool truck as well.
