looking to buy this truck

[AllenEM]

With winch and 318 4speed, I did not know they put 4 speeds in these?

Not an M880 series truck.

'72 or '73 and RARE!
the two other ones I know of have a Dana70 front axle and a dana 60 rear.

An SS member (odjeeper) here in Michigan has one of those.

I was gonna say the same, looks like a contract truck purchased by the GSA or CD at the time. Almost every CD ambulance and rescue truck has the PTO winch. My 4x4 62 GMC Panel even had one!

 

[AllenEM]

the owner said it was a 67

 

[dc3coyote]

let us know if you pass on hte truck. I think there are a couple of us here that would like to get a swing at it.

 

[clinto]

That is very cool and it definitely isn't a '67.

I have never seen one of these with a 4speed. I assume it's an NP435?

 

[AllenEM]

he also has a 1977 Dodge crew cab 4x, 318 auto $750.00 no spark

 

[Bob H]

..........................no spark

Likely bad grounding of electronic module on fender or firewall.

I believe both trucks were Air Force contract.

Here is the thread about Brians ambulance:

For the 77-if you are trying to track down the no spark issue, check the continuity of the ballast resistor (the ceramic thingy on the firewall in front of the driver) they rot or burn out and that equals no spark.

Either that ambulance is not GI or it has been monkeyed with a bunch.

Looks very correct to me, USAF or USN contract.

 

[Maverick1701]

very cool find!!!

 

[AllenEM]

well I went and looked at it friday it is a 73 and it has manual locking hubs, electronic module for the distributor. single barrel carb.

 

[Elwenil]

Shouldn't be a single barrel unless it's a Slant 6. If it's a small block it will probably have a typical Carter BBD.

 

[AllenEM]

sure looked like a single barrel but it may have been a two it looked smaller than my fits

 

[Elwenil]

The carter BBD does tend to look like a single barrel at first glance due to the small neck but it's actually a two barrel carb and is very common on 318 engines up until the late '70s.

 

[KILBILY]

I notice that you have an M880 with a trailer for a bed dc3coyote.Do you have any pictures of it?Im thinking of doing something like this and would like to see what one looks like finished.

 

[AllenEM]
