Purchased from a Grand Island, Neb., farmer (who provided the original title), the model 63 was an uphill battle from the start.

"It was in pretty bad shape," Lawrence said. "But I had two of them, so I cut the frame off behind the cab. It had been cut and welded, but it was in pretty bad shape. I put a whole new rear section on."

A full three-quarters of the cab was oak, and it was completely rotted away.

"There was just enough there to get measurements," he said.

What remained of the truck was completely taken apart and restored. The transmission and rear end were reworked, and the engine (the same as that on a 10-20 farm tractor) needed a valve job.

The truck was designed for work, not creature comforts.

"The interior is just bare steel," Lawrence said. "There's no upholstery except on the seat. There's no frills."

But as a historically accurate restoration, it's at the top of its class.

"It's a real impressive looking truck," he said.

The 61 also needed a lot of tender loving care.
