I'm still up in the air on what it's fate will be. She is a little crusty from being on the Pacific Coast. On the other hand, a 2 ton crew cab with a 5-speed and a 2-speed rear end is pretty bad a$$.

The steering and shifter feel pretty tight so the 57k on the odometer might be correct. Factory tach, Zenith electronic ignition, HD alternator, and what appears to be a governor built into the carburetor are all fairly unique in my experience.

I'm half tempted to get it running and add a spray bar for watering the road and ready to roll in the case of wild fire. Not really the plan as we have been searching for a 4wd brush truck (aka W500!).

Assuming a 9.00x20 tire and the governor tacking out at 3800 RPM, 69-70 MPH. If it's an 8.25x20, 65-66 MPH both feet flat on the floor. Kevin
