Looks great to me! Anything of that vintage around here has already rusted to the windows. I like the ones old enough that a fellow can work on them when needed. Way too much unneeded/unwanted stuff on the newer ones.
My "throttle position sensor" has always been my left foot.

I prefer my right foot.

Some people are just kinda "left headed" anyway!

That truck looks pretty good. It looks like only a little rust under the door. That is when trucks were trucks. Congratulations.

Ah, a sweet ride. I believe I still have a brake booster and a distributor of that vintage in the garage. Or maybe I donated them my BIL already.

And they were made to last back then, just like your tractors!
I like the camper top: that's worth a good chunk of what you paid for the truck. Plus the 4wd: never call a truck a hauler unless it is 4wd or a dually!
Most trucks in my area of that vintage have already been lassoed by the farm boys and used as beater trucks or oversize ATV's. But I'm still looking!

I use my trucks for hauling fire wood and tractors.. This may not tug my tractor around so well.. but it will be good for fire wood..
