This truck has been outside for most of it's life and tonight it's in my shop for
preservation and retirement.
It belongs to the family of my brothers girlfriend and I asked if we could save it from it's home in a field.
Their history with it goes back over 4 decades when it was used as a daily
driver. It's role prior to that is still a mystery.
If someone can shed some light on the data plates or have some experience with the truck I'd appreciate hearing about it.
We're going to get pics of it's use by the family when it was new, to them.
Really curious about it's previous status as a 'Steel Soldier'. Found a few pics in civilian mode.
