Yesterday I pickup my fourth power wagon. I don't know what I will do with it as I only plan on restoring 2 ( My swivel frame fire truck and my M601), but this truck is a California truck all its life and only had surface rust in a few places. What I liked most was the rear PTO, only wish it still had the belt drive attachment. I thought I might add the rear PTO to the fire truck, but with the swivel frame I don't think it would be possible. I don't know how it would look on the M601. To perfect a truck to use for parts, besides I already have a parts truck. The truck has been sitting for the last 25 years in a field. Snakes and mice made their home in the seat,and the front and rear fenders are in pretty bad shape (dents), but the bed sides are good. I don't know about bed floor as the prior owner put sheet metal over it. He also added a power break unit. ( That is what it looks like) It is a long canister about the diameter of a muffler. Two to three feet long. The only major problem I now have is finding a way to thank my wife for her indulgence.
