| Notes: |
The "Olde Girl" was Uncle's Ranch Truck for 40 years out in Rubidioux, CA. & he ordered her w/ the Heavy Duty Package. Father traded the "Wee Beastie" to me for my '58 F-350. I'm the 3rd Family member to own her & I've after years of wishing to own her, I finally do. Toyota P/S conversion, though I wish to replace w/ Original Master Guide Power Assist System, can not use the Original Horn Button otherwise. |
