Description

Thousands of Auto Restorer magazine readers watched Ruby's transformation from an abandoned hulk to a shined-up, respectable daily driver. Here's your chance to own a piece of automotive history!
Ruby has received a wealth of mechanical and cosmetic improvements, which are listed below. This sale includes color photocopies of the Auto Restorer series so you'll know everything about the history of your new truck.
Technical details: 240-cid in-line 6, 131-inch wheelbase, 8-foot-long bed, Warner manual 4-speed (with granny gear) transmission, Dana 60 rear axle (7,400-pound capacity), 4.10 differential. Mileage: 144,851.
Extras: Included are a big batch of receipts and a service log containing all work performed since 2008.
The scoop: The doors close with a solid thunk, the original paint looks great and everything but the horn works as it should. All four tires have plenty of meat left on them. The truck has 300 miles on a complete brake job. As the photos show, the rocker panels are 99% solid, the exception being a small hole on the driver's side. Underneath, the rear cab corners and the cab braces are rusty and the truck needs front cab mounts. Although the easy-starting engine is lively enough on the road, compression is low in the No. 1 cylinder and the engine burns oil. Eventually, the engine will need new rings or a rebuild.
All in all, Ruby the Farm Truck is a showy, solid survivor that turns heads wherever she goes. Next stop - your barn?
