Please don't hate, off topic...

I got a deal on this that I couldn't pass up, only $500 more than I could afford...

Seriously though it's in great shape and it gives me something to cruise while I'm building the 57.
The ad read :
"Nice old Truck. Runs Great. Mostly original. Seat covering and Wheels are not original to year"

I found it advertised just a 2hr drive away and the owner agreed to hold it for a couple days until I could come and see it. A very nice guy and a real gentleman, he had owned it for nearly 20 years and barely drove it. The engine is a rebuilt 312 V8 and the beautiful paint was done in the late 80's or early 90's and is still show quality.
