Any further information on this truck, Lee ? Reason I ask, is, I believe this was crashed hard in the front in St Paul, MN after leaving Back to the Fifties about 10 yrs ago. The owner died of a heart attack shortly after and the family had it brought to Centerline, where I worked and I started repairing the front end. The hood and fenders are all welded together to make it a one piece, even though it appears to be stock. In the lower pic you can see the rubber strap, at the bottom of the fender, holding the hood down. After finding out the insurance coverage wasn't going to be enough to repair it, they let it go and it went to auction. Be interesting if there was history on it from auction to rebuilt. At the time, I had a bunch of pics of it, but apparently deleted them when it was taken out of Centerline and sent to auction. Thanks, Mitch

Sorry - no further info. Photo not taken from a dealer/auction.

Funky looking paint job. Looks like Candy Apple Red shot over gold, then fogged with black before being clear coated.

I think that is one of those computer programs where a person can manipulate photos to look like that. Nothing is really in sharp focus. It was a Root Beer color, when I worked on it and this seems quite similar, but messed with.
