Yeah Fumblin' I fully expected to get out-sniped again as it was. Also if it had been more than a three day auction, it may have gone for more. For some reason, it didn't turn up in my regular searches either. On a whim, I went to "parts cars" and sorted them by nearest first. There it was, near the top with less than a day left. I've seen a few of his auctions before and they've always been to high on the opening bid to interest me. I guess patience pays or maybe the truck gods were just pleased with me one day.
The truck spent it's first life in Heber, Utah as a mobile welding truck. It was set up with racks on the left running board for oxy-acetyline bottles and rack for welding leads on the right side. Apparently it was based at a Union 76 station as you can still make out the logo on the doors. The down side is a section of the bedside roll was cut off to accomodate the welding racks. Luckily, last month, I traded some parts for a trailer made from a '39 or '40 bed. I think the sides are the same but I'll have to measure to be sure. It appears to be a '41 going by the one remaining park lamp housing and what the seller told me. I'll have to run the VIN# through the de-coder to be sure.
