@red66toy ,
The underside--truck came from the desert region in California, last used for search and rescue in its later years. Lots of antenna holes in the roof, CB antenna on the side, early CARB-approved V-8, auto-trans with a Pontiac T-handle floor shifter, dual wipers converted to the single model with the slave cable, sheepskin seat covers over the ripped coral, Saginaw power steering, the typical rear bumper installed on most of the 45 pickups of that era...............and of course lovely thick shag carpet glued UNDER the tunnel , I guess to keep the noise down and the heat out. Damn thing could've caught fire with all the grease and heat on it.
Definitely a work truck, as they all were, and the "improvements" were made to make it do its job better..............maybe !
