The YouTuber who is referenced is located in rural TN south of Knoxville. He’s been acquiring a lot of barn funds lately. He also stumbled upon a local (to him) hoard of cars being cleared out after the owner died (4000+ vehicles). Apparently the new owner is saving all the trucks.

It's pretty amazing that those front fenders aren't rusted into oblivion like most are.

He posted a new thread where they cleaned out the interior and washed the truck. Apparently it’s been in a garage all these years. Covered in a thick layer of dust. The seat has the original coil springs, some of which still have the individual cloth covering. And he has the original operators manual!
