it originally had a gravel box. the owner sold the box when he stop trucking in 1960. all left is the power take off. its got a 13feet platform made off wood ,rotten wood now! i was going too make a pickup out off it!!! but change my mine . i think it will stay a truck,and would like to have some sort off dumping system. too make it useful (firewood, little load gravel,spring clean up,trip too the dump) just a nice old truck. its far from ready for an inspection,for a plate.

Not in bad shape at all!!!
There is a truck locally here where I live in just about that shape. I would buy it if my wife wouldn't kill me...
