my 49 3100. Purchased from original owner- sold it because he could no longer handle the non-power steering and non power brakes. (probably also because of lack of passenger side mirror. Original paint and bed wood, good running shape. Have original title, owners manual, and almost all of the service records from two dealerships for the past 60 years(guess what was CRAMMED into the glove box. The front grille was repainted in 1950 or 51. The seat recovered sometime back with almost original type cover.
The title was not embossed or anything so I made a color copy and turned the copy in to the state when I had it registered. It was bought in Alma ks. that dealer closed a few years later so the owner started using the Wamego dealership.(home of the Tinman)
Still had the original front tire as the spare(bf Goodrich Silvertown) The original jack and handle as well.
The owner bought it to be his farm truck. it is a heavy half ton. He used it on the farm for about a year. then he decided that it just was not strong enough to haul grain and handle the chores. So he built a garage next to the house, had the grill fixed(He had hit something the first of second month he owned it) then he used it for going to church and to town on Saturday. It had 56K original miles on it when I got it. the speedo needle has been gone for awhile but the odometer still works. There is a steel rod on the top of the seat back that he used to beat the neighbors dogs off with when he would get the mail( the mailboxes were close to each other) I left it right where he did.
He was really broken up when I loaded it on the trailer to take it home. I repainted the engine, and have cleaned up the engine compartment a little, but it is in very good shape. I take it by 1 a year so he can see that it is still running strong. Pics are linked below.
