Yet another 48 one ton

[billrigsby]

Well I really need this like a hole in the head, or as little Johnny McCormick at Wright Tree Service used to say, if you had half a brain that be all you'd have!

But for $1,000 a running truck with a fairly good set of grill bars hood ornament and bumper guards couldn't turn it down. Just an 8-hour road trip up to Wyoming. Upon further inspection I noticed it has the hard to find dual horns, interior light I don't know what else I'll find when I get home.

 

Attached is the Facebook ads and some pictures.

Got her home late late last night, a blowing snow storm coming through Denver did not help with the ETA.

     Last fuel stop!

 

It has this PTO driven, I am guessing hydraulic pump, not sure what for, no bed lift, bed is also not attached to the frame.

  

 

These were a nice find, they were not shown in any of the engine photos I saw.

 

Another interior light, mine does not have the switch!

 

Grill guards and a very nice set of grill trim (the rest is in the cab along with a nice ornament.

 

The body is extremely straight, this is the only dent I have found.

 

Curious, is it normal for the flatbed/duallies to have 20inch wheels? my express box truck has 16's, (also got two extra wheel/tire combos).

 

All in all, happy with the purchase, almost got home before the snow and this I have never seen, the title shows the original sales price/MSRP!

I thought so, I'll do a compression and leak down test to confirm more.

Surprisingly, the original key works both in the ignition and door!

That is a heck of a find.
