Bought new by a farming family near Santa Maria that grew oranges. After WWII it was stored in a barn for over 20 years. The 38 year old son decided to restore it but was killed in an accident. The car was then sold and moved to Chico California, restored to original condition for show. In April 1999 the truck sold again moving to Arizona. In 2002 the truck was modified adding a Ford 302 V8, C4 automatic, front discs and A/C. I purchased the truck in June 2018 and maintain the great patina.
