It was a former Power Co. Truck, from western NE.
It is a 230 ci flat head six truck, with a 4spd and 4.10 gears.
There is NO rust in this truck(except for light surface rust, no pitting, no holes), all sheetmatal is solid, and has only small dents
I have replaced the rusted door(it rusted do to a broken window, the floor on that side of the truck still has original paint on it), and the broken windows. I got it running, rebuilt the carb, repaired the brakes, and replaced the rear third member.
All four brakes work, and the pedal feels just about as good as the 58 I have that got a complete brake rebuild.
I also fixed all of the wiring, so now all the lights work, running lights, headlights, turn signals, dash lights(including the turn signal indicator, and the high beam indicator), and the aftermarket spot light.
All of the dash gauges work, as does the generator and oil light.
The tires are all somewhat dry rotted, and have little tread left, but they hold air.
I have replaced the damaged grill, straightened the front bumper, and fixed the dent in the drivers side fender. I also stripped and painted the grill, front bumper, and headlight surrounds.
The truck runs and drives well, and would take very little to be used regularly on the road(mostly it needs tires).
I am asking $4,500 for the truck as it sits,
I have a clear NE title for it.
I will replace the bed with a nice 71/2 footer, with tailgate for $700 extra (though I have found the box in the bed to be very handy, it holds TONS of parts).
This truck is currently located in Madison WI, please contact me at townwagon@hotmail.com, or 608 358 3557 with any questions.
I have more pictures, and will be posting more soon.
I had this truck at the VPW rally this year, and drove it in the parade. Anybody that was there want to verify how nice this truck is?
Eric
