If you are looking for a project, you need to go on a weekend back road cruise That's when you will find the most luck at finding a project or go to a couple of small town coffee shop and ask a few of the old timer if their is any old veichle back in the sticks and some times you will get lucky and get a few places to look. If you were a little closer to manitoba I know of a couple places over the border in north Dakota at a few friends down their that have few places that still have some old trucks that the scrapers haven't got yet. Talk to you soon.

Joe, I have seen this on Ebay a number of times when looking for parts, its the only one I have seen so far (sorry for the ebay link it will only be available as long as the auction) If I run across anything else I'll try to remember to post it.

THANK! more than i wanted to pay, but fits the bill, its really my wife's,, she got her family's Green '46 that moved them from nebraska to illinois to wisconsin AND hauled all the grain to town before it was given a rest in the fence line.. looking for parts a year ago, i found the exact same truck in N.D. same color, green. perfict shape, no dents one side of the floor board appeard to be worn out from gravel or rust, matching S/N block that run perfect, so i bought it for her ($1450, same as new)

While on eBay, try searching for "Hubley 460", that is an old '40s or '50's die cast truck that you can find in various configurations. The Gearbox trucks are nice, have a few myself, however, they are only available as a pickup. The Hubley is the way to go if you want a flatbed or big type truck.
