The seller's name is Ben and he and the truck are in Langley/Aldergrove. He is dreaming on the price. He told me $6500. He told me restored they sell for over $50,000  :D I have his number if anyone has any questions for him.

Almost creepy how it looks like a '59 I brought up from Oregon about 10 years ago.  It had the yellow brown and coral paint coats as well....  hmm... strange. I think I sold that one back in the day for less than $1000..... how things change.

if it went to Kirin's guy the owner is still waiting for him to finish the projects he had 15 years ago!  That guy is worse than evolution from what I hear.

What I think is odd is that it's so rotten coming from OR.  Usually the cars there are pretty good.

I washed it off :)  took out the broken front windows.  I think I pulled out the axle for a strait axle kit, but ended taking the straight axle and put it in my crewcab.
  When it left, the speedo was still in it, but no motor for sure.  Don't think it even had a transaxle..  When it left, the drivers rear fenderwell was welded up and I think that was about it.  So other than the front windows and drivetrain I think it was complete.   That was a long time ago.

When i had it, the bottom two/three inch's of the nose was cut off, the entire ds rocker cut off, treasure tray floor is ROTTEN, there was some frame rot, rear corners were bashed and cut, and rusty, deck floor had some rot, gates were rough, front floor big holes,
drivers or passenger door was ripping bottom hinge out, treasure door falling off, rear decklid fell off, she was a roof or dash doner for sure......or ratty ratty rod.
