This truck is being sold as a project for complete restoration. It was used on a ranch in the Big Bend region of Texas until 1989 when it was purchased by my brother who drove it daily until 1992. I inherited this truck in 1992 and therefore I do not know a lot about it. I drove this truck to where it was parked outdoors in New Mexico for 11 years. During this time it was damaged by vandals who busted out the drivers door window and shot bb's at the windshield. Pack rats moved into the truck and ate the water hoses and fuel lines and stripped the insulation from some of the wiring. The truck has been stored indoors since 2003. I held on to this truck with the intent of restoring it but now realize I need to let it go.
Known Not stock: rear bumper, side mirrors, exhaust, gas tank behind seat(?).
Known damage: drivers door glass missing, bb pits in windshield, interior cardboard incomplete, seat upholstery, small dings in front hood ornament, steering wheel cracked, turn signal lever missing, rats damaged wiring insulation and ate water hoses, missing a metal bracket in center of tailgate near bottom
The pictures do not reveal the condition of the body well. As an example, the front bumper looks beat up but the metal appears to be perfect, the paint is not. On the hood there is one tiny ding. I believe the body condition is as good or better than any unrestored 1959 Power Wagon to be found. Restoration of this truck to a near perfect condition will be greatly simplified due to the body condition. I encourage anyone interested to come and see this truck for yourself.
