1943 Federal dump truck

[tstone]

These WWII trucks are really getting hard to find. If you have the place to store it indoors, it would be a great piece to restore. I had a chance to pick one up back in the 80's, it had a small crane mounted on the frame. I had no extra cash at the time and the guy would not work with me; he cut it up and scrapped it, what a waste. I can remember that the engine was a huge flat head six and had the brass primer cups mounted on the cylinder head.
Hope you get the truck!

Nice find. I'd grab a WWII truck as well because of dwindling opportunities to find them

I got the Civvy model from 48, a 25M. Parts are **** near impossible to find but you can usually figure out how to replace the part with something off a truck of similar vintage.
