It was featured in the book Pickup Trucks by Justin Lukach in 1998. At some point it was acquired and displayed on J&R Vintage Auto Museum in Rio Rancho, M.. it was bought and mechanically refreshed in 2011.The Kisber Auto Parts sign is hand painted in gold leaf and in the exact address and phone number of Kisber Auto Parts in 1935.

This Buddy Stewart pickup is powered by a stock 4 cylinder Waukesha engine that is married to a T83 three-speed manual shifting transmission. Inside the cab is brown upholstery with hand-operated windows and windshield. The exterior is completed with green and black two-tone paint. Highlighting the exterior are red artillery-style wheels with polished wheel caps, ood bed rails, ront chrome bumper and a spare tire mounted under the bed. The pickup offered here has been the recipient of a frame-off nut & bolt restoration and shows to be in lovely condition.

This nicely restored "Buddy" is quite a piece of automotive history, nd that's why this is so interesting. This is a relatively late example (most car companies that the Depression was going to kill were already dead by this point and the only survivors are the ones that are household names today). So here's a lightweight speed truck that would've competed successfully against the days' most popular trucks, the International "Red Baby" , EO "Speedwagon" and the Federal "Scout" ! This extremely good looking and well equipped "Buddy Stewart" 40H will delight even the most discerning early pickup truck collector or enthusiast.

These Stewarts are becoming almost impossible to find in such solid well kept condition...if you can find one at all! GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!

Current mileage on the odometer shows 71,884, t is sold as is and is mileage exempt. The truck is being sold on a clean & clear title.

VIN: 40H160
