Equipment
3-speed, alternator, heater, wood bed, spare tire carrier, hub caps, whitewalls.
Condition
Fiberglass fenders. Excellent paint. Chrome is well finished. Some scratched glass and loose window gaskets. Aftermarket gauges are clear and bright. The interior firewall, though, is not painted and visible. The engine bay is clean and mostly correct other than the added alternator. Restored to slightly better than truck standards and quite eye-catching.
Market commentary
This is a serious work truck, returned to production after WWII virtually unchanged from pre-war, and it no doubt has lived an active work life. This vintage truck was in high demand and usually were worked to death before being abandoned in some remote location where they were left to return to the earth, which seems to have happened to the fenders on this WC. Rescued from oblivion, it has received a quality restoration to unusually high standards, for which the consignor got little financial compensation. It is worth every penny of the price paid, and would not have been out of line had it brought a few thousand dollars more.
