My son's 59 cargo double doors on both sides. We found it parked in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico near lake when we were over there.  Went and spoke to owner.  They had it shipped from factory in covered container to their doorstep. It was used to transprt turkeys over the mountain to the meat market here in Alamogordo, New Mexico where we live.  Wern't interested in selling although by the end of the conversation we bought it. around $600.  Had to go back over to pick it up and owners wife(both elderly) had cleaned it inside out and was sad she missed a spot on the inside of the engine lid.  Good shape and happy home. Also, my 60 23 window was bought by us from an original owner in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Still have the canceled check on file. You know the kind we used to use before plastic.  We paid $1000 for that one in 1971. It has traveled everywhere with us but is resting until we get some cancer treatment for her done and new paint and new sunroof. Ya know, needs some care and getting it done soon, hopefully. At least the 67 camper bus is running around smoothly for now. It came from Roswell, New Mexico (Home of the aliens)  The 64 double cab pickup came from Rex Eastman, a purchase made at Jerome one year.  "Shorty" the short bus(jacking points touching in the center) came from a purchase in Lake Havasue.  Boy, those bus meets can get expensive but fun. Not much interesting history on the rest of the gang!
