Tipper truck from Italy

[pole80]

Ciao Guys,
let me introduce you my new puchase, a 1969 early bay tipper truck.
This pick-up was originally sold in august '68 in the city where I leave, near Milan, and had a single owner since 2004, when I purchase it the first time.
Then I sold it to a friend in 2007, and he kept it till last month, when he decided to put it for sale...I simply cannot resist, and I've bought it back...

The pick-up was never restored, and has all the "scares" of a long and hard life of work on the body, but it runs very well, and is fully working, also the tipper mechanism, which was produced by a local shop (Ariasi, in Mandello del Lario, hometown of the Moto Guzzi brand).

Ciao to all from Italy!

Marco
