That's a nice one but look out when it comes time for insurance and licensing. Very expensive here in CA. anyway because of the weight and the dump bed. I know cause I had a couple in my toy box years ago.

Drive it first and take a lot of corners. Some 10 years ago I found a nice 56 Chevy one ton, I took it for a drive. A LOT OF WORK TO DRIVE A TON"R. Would not be much FUN!

I'd like to drive it down my driveway with a full load of gravel as I eased the bed up. :)

Little high priced no? I've seen just about as nice here go for alot less at farm auctions...$5000.00 should get you partially finished...not needing everything wear related.

I agree, I got to drive a 46 2 ton, and that was a beast to take corners on much funner with power steering

Wally, you are quite correct, it is subjective, what I am saying is, drive it and find out. Now load that truck with gravel, give me a hilly road and that to me is fun, to shift an old truck so that the engine always sounds the same from gear to gear is MUSIC!! :)

i like it even better when i get to "downshift" without the clutch - using the two-speed rear. :P
