This is a beautiful and functional truck you can drive in comfort and style. Since restored it has been driven 962 miles. It took over 5 years to build the truck. There are, owever, couple of things that need to be addressed: Windshield wipers are non-operative - need the w/w motor installed (motor comes with truck). Never installed because not driven in rain. Cowl vent has a power actuator which needs the switch hooked up. Switch is there. Door window on passenger side needs checked - does not operate. These are very minor things that need don

Overall, his is one amazing truck. It runs, rives and sounds awesome. Driving the truck is fun.
