This truck is in great mechanical condition and very road worthy. I bought the truck from an auto dealer in Chadron, NE. It was a trade from a farming family that bought the truck new to haul wheat seed from town to the field. My interest was to own a classic and haul my tractor to shows and parades around the northern Colorado area. I spent a ton of time cleaning, repairing and replacing the carburetor, radiator, front main seal, front engine mount, valve cover gasket, side cover gasket, oil pan gasket. I removed the head to inspect, replace valves, rocker arms and rocker shaft. The engine always maintained great oil pressure for a by-pass oil filtration system. The electrical system is original six-volt, foot starter, rebuilt generator all in great condition. The steering box has minor free play, gear oil replaced, wrist pins, ball joints and spring shackles are all tight and take grease. The transmission shifts well, no shavings or pieces were found when the gear oil was replaced. The clutch has never slipped or seemed to have slipped. It was never inspected or torn down. I replaced the front driveline u-joints and rear driveline with new u-joints. This truck does have a two-speed axle that shifts very well powered by vacuum. No debris or metal pieces were found upon replacing the rear-end gear oil. I replaced the headliner, floor mat, left door hinges, both door gaskets, wing window gaskets. All of the gauges work correctly. The box is a 13' grain box, the floor and sides are grain tight. I built the short sides that are shown in the PICS. The rear dump hoist works well. The engine has developed a minor coolant leak on the front right. There are some minor dents in the front left fender and cab roof. There are no rust issues on the body, very minor floor board rust. My wife and I would take the truck out on “back road” Sunday drives. I drove the truck to work on Friday during late spring, summer and Fall months. I will soon be downsizing to move and will no longer have a place to park, work on or use for the truck. This truck will make an awesome truck to have around on a small acreage for small jobs. It’s a “neat” old classic that will be a super starter restoration project.
