John Bolender of Des Moines, WA purchased this Rampside from Jon Thollander of Bonney Lake, WA in September, 2014. Jon had purchased it in January of the same year.
The truck appears quite original, including the engine. The code T1106WB indicates a November 6 build date, which is correct for the month this truck was built. The "WB" signifies that the engine was a 110 HP model for connection to an automatic transmission, which the truck has. The truck also has a dealer-stamped delivery date of "12 3", indicating December, 1963. It all adds up nicely!
John got busy right away with restoring it, with the help of a professional or two. He will be sharing photos of the progress soon.
