I have focused on a mechanical preservation restoration with some modern updates (Petronix dizzy, Alt, Weber, Wolfs, larger tires, etc.)to make this a solid dependable driver. This truck has spent its entire U.S. life in MT., used for over a decade as a business delivery rig. It is a proud member of Rocky Mnt Rovers group based in Helena, MT.
*Hope this is sufficient info to be listed on the registry. If you need more please direct me on how to provide. Thank you for doing this. mike
Mike, That VIN is on the list and indicated as being in Washington state back in 2021.
The latest list is in previous post, #256
I'll get info updated. Thanks for taking the time to provide update.

Dave, apparently P.O. posted with "Craigslist ad in Spokane, WA"? There is no Kalispell, WA. I purchased the truck in April of 2021 from the owner in Kalispell, MT. This truck has always lived in Montana. All good. Thanks. Mike.

From what I have gathered, I am within a few miles of the original owner who purchased it in 1969. I have yet to reach out, but planning to soon. I am sure he would get a kick out of seeing it.
