i have one of these westcoaster 970-A4 its delivery date is 11/12/71. I was wondering what something like this is worth. Where can i find parts for it, if i want to restore. Mine runs well i have 5250 miles on it. I would like if u would email me with some information if u have any about the truck.

It handles well. It will run 55 mph. The original springs were light but we increased it by using progressive rate springs from Summit. Wind can be an issue!
