Alkay3, your Grandfathers oil rigs look really nice, hope you can locate one or two of them. The oil rigs are usually really used up. The troop boxes are the hardest to find because everyone took them off to serve whatever purpose the new owners wanted. The '53 GMC 640 in the background is a Ex-Navy, then Ex-USMC 5-ton that runs and drives. It's been Frankenstien'd though, with a '63 534 c.i. F##d Super Duty and a Spicer 5- speed. Also included is a 2 cylinder 3- stage dump system out of the original donor Furd. Strange but true. It sat for 19 years that I know of and I had it running in 2 weeks after it was going to a scrap yard. I got it free.
