It's so much fun! First gear is useless since you can only reach 10mph in it but other than that it's really easy to drive. Column shift 3 speed, straight 6, and manual steering. This is only the 2nd time I've driven a manual. My starts still need work, I stalled once but the engine started itself.

The truck was bought new in 1946 from army surplus and has been in my family ever since. It's still sporting it's original paint, glass, weather stripping, bed, engine, everything. The only things not original are the tires and hub caps
