It runs (barely) and has all it's parts, though some of the interior wood has rotted away. The truck was originally employed by the American River Sand & Gravel Co. in Sacramento, CA and moved to a walnut orchard nearby and sat in the barn there until 1987. The previous owner bought it then & got it running again, but did no restortation, so that's where I come in. I plan to restore it to original condition, and have done a little bit of sanding, priming and tune-up parts and replaced the tires so far. Looks like I will find lots of good info & help here. Anyone else here have a Wood dump bed? I will most likely need help with the hydraulics.

Welcome to the bolt. Great place to be and I'm sure you will find those who can help you. One big advantage is it does run!!
Thanks for the pictures.
oh, you may want to look through the gallery photos for someone with a truck like yours or similar.
