HOWDY FROM ARKANSAS! I AM A NEWBIE AND NEED SOME REAL HELP. SHORT VERSION FOR NOW. I WILL POST AND SEND PICS LATER. PURCHASED A 1949 3800 LAST FALL FROM ORIGINAL OWNER. HE ASSURED ME THE DUMP BODY, AN ACTUAL BOX LIKE THE BIG DUMPS HAVE JUST SMALLER CAME FROM THE DEALER WHERE HE BOUGHT IT. TRUCK IS ALL ORIGINAL AND IT RUNS AND WORKS GREAT. I DROVE IT HOME(60 MILES). I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING ABOUT DUMP BOXES OFFERED FROM CHEVY IN 49. WE RUN A NON-PROFIT FOR DISABLED HUNTERS AND PURCHASED THE TRUCK WITH A NICE 1961 LOWBOY TRAILER ATTACHED TO PULL MY TRACTOR AROUND AND USE MAKING FOOD PLOTS FOR DEER AND TURKEY FOR OUR GUEST HUNTERS.
ANYWAY, MY QUESTION IS THAT I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFO ON THE ORGINAL DUMP BOXES OFFERED. IF ANY. AND WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO DECIDE IF WE SHOULD RESTORE OR MODERNIZE AND KEEP AS AN ACTUAL WORKING RIG. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT AND IDEAS. THANKS GANG.
