Greetings AZKen!

I just looked at the photos of this truck, and I must say from all outward appearances, the truck looks to have been well taken care of. Given the rarity of a truck such as this one, (it is after all almost 50 years old) it would be my hope that whoever buys this truck would leave it as is instead of "restoring" it to original delivery condition, or God forbid, using it as a workhorse for some construction firm where the use and care it would receive might be questionable, not to mention the difficulty in finding replacement parts for it if it were to break down. The patina mentioned is what gives this truck its character, and is what sets it off as a collector item and showpiece.
