I was able to snap some pictures before sticking it in storage. As mentioned I'm not sure where this will end up but hopefully a modernized machine that I can drive on the road and in the hills.

Regarding road worthiness, I was just chatting with FutureDeadGuy about how much he is enjoying Ozzie, the extra long bed pickup. I was reminded what a great highway cruising Patrol this is, the best highway cruising Patrol I have ever driven. He had taken it on a 2 hour trip to a car show - won 2 awards - and said it cruises at 80 easily with pedal left. I believe that this is possible with any Patrol. This one does have a custom 4 speed transmission, but 4th gear is still 1:1. What makes this possible on this Patrol is all mechanical. Very tall wheels and tires, extractors/headers, an upgraded Stromberg carb and an electronic ignition. Everything else is stock. Granted, this truck does have the monster H260 rear diff so I don't know if that makes a difference. Point being, with some well thought out performance upgrades I think any Patrol can be made to handle highways more efficiently.
