Hubba-hubba... jealous only begins to describe my feelings right now. May we see some more details?

[Jake]

The tow back to Vernon was relatively uneventful unless I pulled into a gas station for fuel, then the conversations with the locals would start.
Overall nice original condition on this truck with some rust inside the cab.

[Jake]

not sure why I am having trouble loading more pics but will figure it out.

Looks like a nice straight truck! Very nice find! Looking forward to seeing more pics.

What are your plans-full restoration or keep it original while going through the integral drive and safety components?

Still can't seem to post more pics???
I happened to drive by this truck a few hours after he took it out of his shed, it was in the shed for 6 years after a neighbor gave it to him. I stopped right away and made him an offer, a week later he excepted the offer and I drove up to Prince George the next day to pick it up.
My plan is to clean it up do the brakes and general drive train tune up and use it to promote the tractor dealership with vintage looking decals on the doors.
After that I would like to get back the the 56 project and finish the restoration on it.

you may need to make sure your pics are less than 125k. It won't load them if they are too large.

Good suggestion Wayne, lets see if this shows up?
These are taken on my Samsung phone so I guess I thought the pic size should be relatively small.

I stopped at the car wash on my way home with the the truck.

A little soap and water can do wonders. Looking forward to more pictures.

I put her into my shop today, hoping to get started on her tomorrow.

I dropped a battery into the truck and it turns over quite nicely.
