I believe your truck is one if the ones that I was suppose to get. I think Gus tried to sell those trucks to everyone but I was the only one who drove across the country to end up empty handed.

The owner of that yard was a real flaky jerk. One day he wanted to sell every thing the next nothing was for sale. I guess I was there the right day.

I di manage to get that truck a 29 Model A cab, a couple cowls, a bunck of hub caps, wheel covers, road signs, and some other stuff and these exhaust manifold. Which, I sold on Ebay for $2,000.

"Man, That's one ugly truck." Yes, that's why it'll make such a great Rat Rod!

The 38s and 39s you either love em or hate em!

It was last licenced in 1951 at some point in it's life the dually rear was added and it looks like there was a dump bed on it. you can see hinges at the end of the frame. Gus found this in a yard in Santa Fe NM that closed in the 70s.

Thanks dmv56, It looks like all it needs is some power and you got your rat rollin'. [cl

Original 1966-1971 426 Hemi exhaust manifolds! In perfect condition. Probably the first thing taken off and tossed back then. Reproduction ones go for over $1000.

Well the front and rear are locked up so that's going to take some work! It has a flathead V8 in it but I'm done with those. Ones enough.

My dad and I were talking about radial engine trucks over the weekend. How in the world would you keep an air-cooled radial engine cool in a street driven vehicle? Especially in town
