    The truck is killer! I love the way it sits.
    I'm also fascinated by the little stone pagoda roofed building. Any info on that?

  19. Great looking truck. If you want to do more highway driving look for a 3spd with an overdrive, I have one in my '56 panel and drive everywhere (72 ish on the highway).

    Is it poor form to “like” an old post? I was about ready to hit the button until I saw the date

    Hope she’s still styling and smiling in it.
