That's neat info Dan! That driver's side mirror is something! Looks like the farmer welded a nut onto it about half way up the arm. Not sure what he attached there. The truck is covered in that kind of stuff, and it's all really rough. Spare tire mounts and platforms welded to the running board just behind the cab. The rear bumper is a heavy duty one I have seen on other trucks, and he has a rough-cut bumper hitch welded to it. I have nice stock front and rear bumpers, extra straight running boards, and even an extra straight bed box. Not sure if or when I will swap out any of it. I kind of like the story it tells.
He had sheet metal welded onto the bed floor, I guess for hauling grain or seed or something. I cut it out to clean up all the debris under it. The wood slats are mostly intact. He had license plates covering up the holes. Very cool. They were too far gone to salvage. I will be on the lookout for some vintage plates to put back in there.
Thanks!
