Beautiful truck. I had one exactly like this when I was drafted in 1958. The straight six did have a split on the passenger side block but a mechanic felt sorry for me and braised it for me cheap. The whitewalls were removable but I left it original. Sold it in Santa Rosa, Ca. for almost nothing. Should have kept it but need the money. Army guy, Everett Carnine. I'm 80 now so will just remember a good pickup.
