Default Help me Identify this truck I just bought.

I accidentally purchase this truck:
Tan Military Type Transport Vehicle:eBay Motors (item 250488742923 end time Sep-02-09 16:58:12 PDT)

I am not against keeping it but can you help me get some info on it. I believe it is a dodge. I also think it is a forest ranger type truck rather than a military truck.

Can you tell me if this is actually a Dodge, I believe it is...

Also, what do you think about the price that the auction ended at? I got into such a rush bidding on a fed different trucks I didn't notice that this truck didn't have doors.

Are parts available for this truck? What is going to be involved with getting this street legal? Registered through my DMV and then insured to drive on the street?

What size engine and type of trans is this? I am more familar with the chevrolet engine/trans setups...

I can still back out of the deal, but is this seems to be a good truck and a good deal I might keep it. I already have one project car that needs alot of attention, this would be number 2!

This is what I actually wanted: 1951 Dodge Army Truck 4X4 -NO RESERVE-STK#177691:eBay Motors (item 140343006554 end time Sep-05-09 15:06:00 PDT)
But I am almost sure that it is going to go up in price more than I can afford

Maybe not exactly this model, but very similar. This is a WC-21.

WC 1/2ton open cab, besides the engine used, wasn't much difference in the model years ,though from what I can see yours has the military guages which should make it a later model like my (old) WC-21 ( T-215)
Good price!

good price on a good truck. Looks to be in good shape. Just take off the homemade top and you could probably re-sell it and make some $$$

Guys,
Thank you so much for your input. This really helpped out. Im going to contact the seller and try and work something out. I can't buy this truck right now.

What do you think about this one: 1951 Dodge Army Truck 4X4 -NO RESERVE-STK#177691:eBay Motors (item 140343006554 end time Sep-05-09 15:06:00 PDT)

I think it is going to go up to about $6,000. Seems like that is what they are worth. Im just curious as to how difficult it is to find parts and get these things driving down the road? That is a diesel engine correct? What are they called and where can I read some info on these?

My concern that I had was, the car has been licensed to drive in California but was donated to this company to sell. They don't have a title so obviously no pink slip. But if the truck was lincensed then someone out there has a pink slip. You could call the DMV and find out who owns the title, but this could get screwy. Also, why would someone donate a perfectly good car for someone else to sell?
