Just went to look at a '48 truck advertised in last nights want ad. You know, just a look, to many projects in the shop already.
Well it's a bedless model 6RWA with 28k showing on the odometer. That's a 161" wheelbase 2 ton according to the book. It's got a matching set of 9.00-10-20 tires on it that look like they were pretty new when it was parked. That makes it a 16000 lb GVW. It's also got a Brown Lipe 3 speed auxiliary transmission with a single speed rear end.
So I'm standing there talking to the son of the guy that bought it new in '48 and I ask him "How much?"
He answers "a hundred and fifty", suddenly there is this voice saying "I'll take it", and I'm wondering who the heck was that? Only then did it dawn on me that Old Truck disease had struck again.
Pictures to follow.
