1942 1 1/2 ton Flatbed

This was a faster, milder restoration of a truck, than I did in the past, as this one is to be shown, and used. Something this big has to have a purpose. This is one of 767 long wheelbase flatbeds made in 1942, this truck also has a PTO output to drive the hoist(dump) for the bed. I used a rustoleum Yellow, and rustoleum gloss Black, that seems to be holding up for this old girl. It was still on the road until 89' in use by a welding company to haul heavy steel around town. This is how a mild resto goes.....

Found in Wisconsin, being used on a farm

Grill straight and painted silver-poor mans chrome

I used 2x stock pine for the sides.

Rewired 12 volt,, painted the dash

Fresh paint, with new tires, recaps on the back

The engine was tuned up, and a new fuel pump put in.

Taking the 41's GLORY..

"OLD YELLER"

Ran and drove whe I got it

Bed sides added

What is the point of a dump with no sides?

New seat cover,carpet,headliner, and paint.

Dump works, the frame was painted with Farm& Fleet tractor paint in black, like POR15, but 1/3 money

Her first show, notice the trim on the bumpers and wheels

Rear finished girl, big old mud flaps..

Now its your turn to get one started.
