Back in the early 1980s, Ernie bought this rare little pickup in Drumheller for $250. It needed a new engine, but was completely rust-free.
Being a top-of-the-line model, there was lots of chrome and the seldom-seen Hydramatic transmission.
Once the new driveline was installed, the body was painted Corvette Yellow. It turned out so well that it was probably responsible for starting the pickup craze we still enjoy today.
