I've got a lot of stuff I need to move. I will consider trading some for parts for my 1952 B-3-PW power wagon. No, the PW isn't for sale.
#1 1950 Dodge 3/4 ton truck. Utility bed, boom with PTO winch. )I've been looking at the winch for my PW but don't want to break the truck apart as it's pretty much as it came new, just worn) The truck runs and drives pretty well. It's a former power company truck and has most of the equipment they used for maintaining light poles and such. 28K on speedometer but it's stuck. The engine is a Jasper rebuilt that originally was in a '57 1 ton truck by the numbers on the block.
$1550
#2 1959 dodge Royal 4 door sedan. 361 V-8, automatic, swivel seats. The car runs good but is rather rough. It looks worse than it is but does have heavy rust in the trunk area. Original engine goes with it but the one in it runs good. It has been converted to electronic ignition and dual exhaust with glass packs. It shows 51K on the speedometer and i'm not sure if it's original or rolled over. The estate of the original owner says it's original. The car spet most of its time in Tennessee and Texas. It looks like a 50K car in some respects and a 150K car in others.
$850
#3 1982 Dodge D-150 pickup. Slant 6, A-833 4 speed. Some body damage but runs and drives good. It does have an oil laek and I have the stuff to fix it but not the time. The lean burn system was replaced with a regular electronic ignition system.
$800
All three vehicles are in my driveway in Evansville Indiana. This is in the S.W. corner of the state. Numbers 2 and 3 were ticketed by the zoning gestapo but so far haven't been towed as I move them every two weeks.
I'm looking for various parts for my PW. I'd like to get a set of differentials with 4.89 gears, a better transmission, some body parts and so on. As I said, I will consider trades rather than out right sales.
