I bought another one.

A project.

Titled as a 50, last registered in 75. City truck from Oklahoma (supposedly city built or had built the utility bed) Been in N.M. for a long time. No engine.

Leave the patina, convert to 4x4. Possibly 300 6. Not sure on how yet but I want it to look original from the outside with the possible exception of raising it a little.

4x4 was the plan for my 48 F1 but it’s just too original so it remains a driver and this one gets modified.

I like it. I like the old tool boxes. Can you see a city logo on the door? That's a neat history.

Thanks. Cant really see the logo, only where it was. This was just a quick look to confirm I wanted it. Too much snow now to bring it to my place in Colorado . I did the deal and got the title but probably won’t take possession until May.
Ill definitely post details when I get it, especially the boxes which I think are super cool.

What a great old workhorse!! Those toolboxes are pretty cool.
Is it in Albuquerque now?
So, you're not going to pick it up until May? If you need a hand let me know. I'm in Rio Rancho.

Thanks for the offer.
My sons friend found it for me in Farmington. He can store it for me until I’m ready to move it. It will then go to my Colorado place where my shop is much bigger than my garage in Albuquerque and it can hang out with my 48 F1.

I have to compliment you on how beautiful those photos are! Many see a beat up old truck, we see something beautiful and worth saving.

Very nice find. Imagine how good the first worker that got that felt in the day. Must have had some time under his belt. Great looking truck.

Sweet Plan look forward to seeing pic as you go! I always wanted a 4x4 of a Bonus Built.

Cool
I work in the Farmington area from time to time. Lots of treasures to be found around there. Good luck getting it moved when the time comes

An update. The guy who sold it to me was kind enough to store it (longer than anticipated) Today he towed it to me. Now it will spend the rest of its life inside when not driving.
I’ll move it to my home shop after the F1 is fully sorted out.
