This is my Dads truck. He bought it about 7 years ago off of Sam Waltons(Founder of Walmart) daughter. My Dad and a friend took an 18 wheeler out west and put it on a trailer and brought it back. We have taken this truck and a camper all around the United States. It is truly a beautiful truck that has a real thirst for gasoline. With a 100 gallon tank on the back, we can make it quite far without filling up. But, with a 454 and a trailor behind it, 7mpg isnt much. The bed was cut off and the cab stretched out. There is a couch that folds down to a bed in the back, and TV for the entertainment. These are the first pictures of the truck that I know of. It is starting to show its age though. There are a few spots where age is showing its ugly face. Its a sweet truck to drive, and really is made for the long haul. Ill show the interior on a later day.
