In August 2023, Joe Murphy of Conroe, Texas, purchased this '64 Rampside from his father Ed of Montgomery, Texas. Ed had purchased it in June of 2019. Prior to that, it was located in Rusk, TX for a few months and prior to that, the truck was in Shreveport, LA. Joe explained further:
"Beyond that I don't know. In the truck was an old (slightly 'melted') piece of history that appears to be a dealer license plate that says 'The Busy People Shop' -- Johnson Chevrolet. It appears to be a Chevy dealer in New York. It has been re-painted in a different color. The original dark blue paint is peeking through. I know the engine is not original as it’s a ‘63. I will be replacing with a 110 HP unit probably next year."
In September 2025, Joe shared a few pictures of the truck, which is nicknamed "Johnson",
