Looking at a 47-55 dump truck. What to look for? #344177 12/03/2007 4:50 AM

1 Dollar New Guy 1 Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 13 Wisconsin	Old chevy dump truck that I have been loosely watching for some time is now sitting by the side of the road for free. What should I look for? How can I tell if it is a 1.5 or 2 ton? It is very rough and unless it miraculously runs and drives and is half-way functional, it probably won't find its way to my yard. Interior is a mess, no PTO driveshaft, no air filter and evidently no title. Thanks for any help, from central, IN.
