A guy locally has a 1927 1.5 ton express truck for sale. Doesn't specify the condition but the vague pictures indicate it is mostly there and solid. Engine looks to be missing parts. The guy says it would make a great summer project.
Anyway I don't know much about the early trucks and have no idea what a fixer upper should cost. I think he is quite high. It looks much like
"Lurch" in the Gallery but with an open express cab. Give me a thought on price but more on where to find good information on this era.
