I just came across this one in an antique store. It's a full color 8 1/2 x 11 brochure that folds out into 2 then 4 pages. Most of the photo illustrations are of the Power Giants of 1959 and their engines, options and lots of specifications. There are some great shots of the various engines, transmissions, frames, brakes and options like the pintle hook, winch, PTO and brush guard. Great illustrations of the various pickup and utility bodies available, even one of the venerable W300M.
The condition is very good, no fading, a slight tear on the back cover, edges slightly worn. There is the notation "Braden Winch, 8,000# Capacity, 150' 7/16 cable written in pen in front of the W300M illustration. There is also an old dealers business card stapled to the front for Engs Motor Truck Co., Dodge*Diamond T* Divco, in San Francisco, CA with two 5-digit phone numbers.
I wish I had access to a scanner so I could send out pics. This is one nice brochure.
So what do I want in trade? Well, I had a helluva time with a similar brochure like this for Chevys a few months ago. I put a price on it and people made it clear they were willing to pay more just to get it, or trade something bigger but easy to find, but I honestly sold it to the first guy who replied for the price I said. I'm not interested in Ebaying it... This one'll be different.....maybe you've got something sitting around gathering dust that I can use for my 1/2ton WC-22 w/civvie cab....
Here's what I'm looking for:
Non-working Braden MU-2 Winch w/o cable (yeah, right, but I can dream, eh?)
Original Military repair manual
Set of nice front, rear and side glass panes
NOS brake master cylinder
Set of NOS wheel cylinders
NOS fuel pump
Pair of original outside mirrors and arms
Pair of old cowl lights
Good old Windshield T-handle
Pair of Dodge emblems for sides of hood
Let me know what's on your mind, or if you think I'm outta mine....
