Hey there! I came across #20 in one of my many late night internet wormhole searches. At the time, it was too late to message the owner so I had to wait til the next day. I don’t think I got any sleep that night. The following day I was able to get in contact with the owner and see some photos of the truck. Upon seeing the photos I immediately said “I want it”. We talked about it, I explained that I am an enthusiast and would like to restore it the best I can to an original like state, and we struck a deal. Two weeks later I made the drive from Phoenix to Bakersfield to pick it up. It was about a 7 hour drive one way so I drove there and back in one day.
I am extremely grateful and thankful for the previous owner for allowing me to purchase this truck. I was told they had acquired it from a mother who was selling it for her son, so there was not much back story.
I did not look the truck over too long while I was there as I wanted to get loaded up and on my way back home. Amazingly they got it running before I arrived so I was able to drive it on the trailer and be on my way back home.
