Man this is soooo cool! I adore old American trucks, has been a dream of mine to own one day. This is a step side right? Love the patina paint on it :)

Yeah mate, it's classed as a 3100 stepside, sometimes referred to as a thriftmaster.

That's one big piece of junk! Polluting the Washington highways!! 
There's too many roundabouts in Washington for an American truck! 
It looks totally awesome, dude! I'll keep an eye out for this bitchin' ride!

haha cheers dude, its pretty much tucked away for winter now but will be back out when the gritters have gone.
I should say, the theme I'm going for, is original patina for the body, modern and new running gear, tidy engine bay and comfortable semi-luxury interior.

This is very cool! My boss has one and the body is identical, expect he restored his to standard, even with the sluggish straight 6. They are beautiful ole things, however he is selling his as he's bored with it now it's finished. He's moved onto a tr6 to restore
