Found the truck at the local junkyard. The cab/fenders/etc are white and it has a dark green stakebed body. I don't know how it runs as far as noises, oil pressure, clutch, etc. The engine is the original numbers matching 366 tall deck V8 with a 4BBL Holley. The transmission is either a Spicer or Clark 5 speed with reverse all the way to the left, and all the way up like you're shifting to first in a regular truck. It won't go into 5th or 1st gear though. It has a tandem axle 2 speed rear. All the tires are are good and hold air. Most of 'em are 10.00-20 Hercules tires and are on cast spoke split rims that just slide over the wheel hub and are held on by clamps with big lugnuts. It has three gas tanks: the in-cab tank that smelled like fresh gas when I took the cap off, and two huge saddle tanks that I didn't check. The body is kinda shot and rusted, and the roof is the worst area for rust from the cab marker light gaskets leaking. This thing is awesome, I've never seen one like this here in south Texas. I've been looking for one of these to make a welding/gin pole truck out of. I know the owner of the yard and he's been letting me pull parts off it for free, so I figured i'd try to buy it since it's in OK shape. Anyway, what would be a fair asking price for this truck? I forgot to add that it has full air brakes. Are these systems a pain in the [censored] to work on?
