This is my 1949 3800 series flat bed. I found the truck a few months ago on Craigslist in Wichita, Kansas. I made the drive all the way from Houston,Tx,to get it. It is rough and rusty, but I love it. It has a 1955 235 engine in it that is getting pretty tired and the front axle has a lot of slop in it. I plan on restoring it mechanically a.s.a.p., but I would like to leave the body nasty for a bit. So far, all that I've done to it is give it a good cleaning, installed 4 original hubcaps, and I removed the one ton pickup running boards so that I can install the short running boards that a flat bed should have.I'm an artist specializing in aviation related art, so this truck is getting a lot of use picking up old junk airplane parts.
