I saw this truck on ebay and had to have it. Should be a fun truck to drive when I'm done with it. I know it's not as cool as an all original truck, but it is one of a kind.

I don't know what they used it for. It could have been for a trailer hauler. It has a 2-ton dually rear-end in it, but is only running one 19" wheel at the time. I'm just goin to make into a nice little rat rod.

It looks pretty cool, what do you plan on doing with it? It would be a lot of work but you probably could find a chassis and finish it into a pickup.

right now I'm just goin to fix it up a little and make it into a little rat rod. Don't have the time nor the money to restore it to an original. Maybe sometime in the future.

It's got a 55 223 straight six in it right now. I'm gonna run that for a little bit then either take my bored out 300 or maybe go up to a big block. I gotta say though I do love those straight sixes
