Low production numbers is the reason for the rarity, lack of inner splash shields is the reason most that have survived need the outer rear quarters.

The trucks were built in 57, 58, and 59, but all were pretty low production numbers.

At one time there was a web site specifically for these trucks, years ago it was pretty low traffic, don't know if it even exists anymore. Sorry, don't have an address.

Other then the fancy box, they were pretty much standard pickups. Mechanical parts are pretty easy to find. Gene
