Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
It looks like someone cut four or five feet off the back US6's are 6x6 or 6x4 not 4x4 and the dump looks postwar. The front frame looks odd also? How is the JXD will it turn over? $900 is to high for a parts truck, $300 to $500 may be.
Trevorton!! I go there 5 times a year for racing and trail riding.
Sorry i cant save it, too many projects already.
I bet it was used in the coal industry. I have some friends up there if somebody needs some help.

20 Years in the Navy. Joined in 1940. He could tell ya some stories.
Guys that truck belongs to my grandfather. It is a 6x6 if you would look at some of the other pics you would see the rear axle is there. He is getting 9 cents a pound for scrap so that is where the $900 price comes from. Figures it weights about 10,000 lbs as it is. There is a snow plow mounted on the front of the truck and there is a title to the truck. So it could be registered without issue. The price of scrap will be up until the end of the year, so if someone doesn't want to save it by then it is going to get scrapped and we can all talk about how much of a shame it was.
