Buzz, I bought it last October just outside of the city. I had looked up 'trailers' on craigslist, because I like to know if there's a cheap car trailer around just in case I stumble upon a truck to bring home from the dry country East of the mountains. I saw this listed there, so I came home with 1/2 of a truck. Once I finished some other projects I started looking for a donor f350 to mount the bed on. I came up with this 59 mainly because it had a factory ford script stakebed that I wanted for my 37 ford. The box is nicer than the cab, but it has a great running 223 six and it was close by. My plan is to install a cummins '6at', 6 cyl turbo diesel which I have running on a cart in the shop. I will do a thread about that this winter.
Cummins 6at 220 cu in, 120 hp, built 1989 was in a ups truck. Been running one in a GMC for a while, but will sell it when I get the Ford done. Duh.
