The truck has Dodge 318 V-8 engine which has good compression and runs strong. There is a near new Edlebrock double pumper carburetor/manifold. The transmission is a four speed, with a transfer case which gives it eight speeds. The four wheel drive including front axle is massive, has locking hubs. Tires are 8.25 X 20.00 and appear near new. The truck has great power steering and power brakes.
The dump bed is in good shape, the hydraulics work well; we have hauled several loads of drain rock this week, in the Santa Cruz Mountains. There is a massive rear frame structure with a Pintel hitch and quick connections for trailer brakes.
There is a 10 ton Tulsa winch on a massive front bumper assembly. This winch works and is very strong.
The two large tool boxes appear to be new. Everything is in good shape and looks great!
The truck was restored before we got it. It says 500 on the grill, the chassis is W-500, and the tag on the door post says D-300-so-the cab is a marriage. The cab is in great shape and looks good. IT supposedly sold for $9,500 4 or 5 years ago.
We are currently using this very operational, very exceptional truck.
