Vehicle Overview 
The bodywork is excellent, with a new chassis, new rust-protected black bulkhead, and minor patina weathering above the windscreen. All five SUMO tires, including the bonnet-mounted spare, are in good shape. The side panels display stickers and decals of the restoration and forestry conservation work in New Zealand.
The cab is original, featuring three front spade seats in great condition. The rear is ready to attach fold-down seats as an option.
