I was fortunate to come into possesion of a 1950 3800 dump truck.... 'came into possession' meaning that an guy who I worked as a mechanics helper when I was in high school (early 70's time frame) gave it to me. I had been looking for a 1950-ish truck to restore for a couple of years and will pick it up in NM this comming weekend! Expect to take a couple of years to do the job.
It was running when it was parked about 4 years ago. I plan to do an 'upgrade' restore (not sure of the proper terminology) - 350 chevy \ 700r4 \ new suspension front and rear with a bed to replace the dump bed. It is a 5 window and the body is in great shape (no rust).
any words of wisdom?
I hope to post progress pics | | |
