It's a '60 but I put '59 D600 sheetmetal on it because the original stuff was junk. I got it with no motor and rags for tires. No drivelines either. I put a rebuilt 413ci motor and a NP540 5 speed transmission.
It has 6.88 gears in Rockwell axles. Monster axles, but give up on making it a long distance hauler or highway cruizer unless you have a knoweledgeable Rockwell axle dealer that can swap out the ring and pinions. The other option is a brownie with overdrive.

I hope to get this one in shipshape and make it into a dumptruck, and haul my '59 Allis Chalmers backhoe around (locally) on a 20k lb trailer we are building for it. Maby make a little coin on the side doing some light dirtwork, building fences or whatever to pay for my Power Wagon addiction! HaHaHa!!!!
