Looks solid, though there are some things that need fixing.
“This great old pickup came from a farm near Minot, North Dakota. Mechanically sound. Starts, runs and drives good. Original 6-cylinder Super Hurricane engine. Original transmission, original transfer case with high and low ranges. Power Lock front hubs. 12 volt electrical system. 16 inch radial tires. Everything works except the vacuum windshield wipers. Seat needs to be upholstered. Tailgate and one stake pocket are rough. Rear window glass is cracked. Please see photos to determine condition for yourself. Vehicle is solid and ready to enjoy as is or to be completely restored. Owner and service manuals and parts catalog are included.”

You got to like these farm fresh finds. Needs a little work but I like the original paint. Tailgate stencils are so cool…
Any missile officers out there? Repeat after me:
“Why not Minot?”
“Freezins the reason”
…just a bit of Air Force humor this old Army guy picked up working with that crowd π
Getting back on track: I agree with Todd… keep the patina on this truck.
