Well I finally got it home last week, & here it is, http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2355137850052570246RTKpmB , & http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2241892430052570246yhisfZ Collector Of Fine Old G.M.

That is a beauty of a grill and looks like a nice solid truck overall. Life's a long winding trail, love Jesus and ride a good horse!

It is indeed a rust free solid truck. It was originally owned by the State, or Government, in Washington State. On the doors I could barely see "Department Of Agriculture" "Forestry Division". It only has 50000 miles, & is full air brakes. You can tell it was kept inside most of the time, & barely used. It's a virtual "Time Capsule". The brake, clutch, & accelerator pedals, show no signs of wear. It even had the factory floor mat, on the passenger side, with no signs of wear on it. Happy Birthday, to ya !
