·Ralph Collins owned truck about 24 yrs., obtaining truck around 1990 from friend/Co-worker Dave Slater.

·All previous owners were reportedly aerospace engineers, working together on the Space Shuttle program at Edwards Air Force, all of which lived in the arid hi-desert above the dry lakes.

·Before driving from SoCal to Orcas Is. WA. late Dec. 2014, invested $10k servicing & updating mechanical systems to ready vehicle for Northbound journey over the mountains. This included; heater core replacement, window gaskets, lube/oil/liquids, new battery, brakes, addition of electronic ignition & tune-up, tire chains, etc.

NOTE:

This “survivor” is a highly unusual & sought after truck; it’s never worked, never plowed & has been sheltered from the sun, garaged in temperature controlled environments since 1968. This explains the absence of rust throughout the undercarriage, body & topper.
