Sitting in a lot along the entrance to the scale house was a 1959 2 ton Dump truck. I know the owner of the yard pretty well and we got to chatting. I decided to ask about the 'bolt. Long story short... I now have another one! Amazingly, it runs and drives, and is inspected until June. I haven't gotten it home yet, but it will only be a couple weeks until I have two dump 'bolts on the property. I only wish I had my camera with me. Mrs. Inky was not quite as delighted as I was, but nothing catastrophic... She did tell me that if I bring any more home after this one she'll divorce me.  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Inky05, details and pictures please, what engine does it have? I would guess it's rusted to death or the P O would have tried to sell it, or wreck it. More info please, I've had to teach myself not to listen when they plead with me to take me home. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | you are lucky, the only things that follow me home are women and cats  sounds like a good deal though,,Fred

It has a 235 in it that is so clean that you could eat off of it! The guy at the scrap yard got it from an estate... clear title! The cab is in excellent shape, but the fenders are kinda banged up. The dump body has been patched up quite a bit.and is fairly solid. the tires look like they are almost new. It will be a few weeks before I bring it home, but I will try to get some pictures before then. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 267 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 267 |
