I had one of those just a couple years older. Mine was Navy surplus, they used it for a reconesence vehicle. I still have some parts of it but had to leave it when I move a few years ago. Tugs at my heart strings since it was my grandfathers. It still ran but not much else was any good on it anymore. Tough old truck, they have a propeller shaft under them instead of a drive shaft. Mine had the split windshield still, it was 51. 216 6cyl in mine, yours probably has the 235.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
