I bought a very nice driver off Craigslist for $3300 last summer. Undercarriage, frame to wheels, had been cleaned and painted. New seat cushions and canvas top. Two new tires with nubbins on tread, other two tires 80-90%. The only thing missing was the spare tire mount and air cleaner, but...
Greetings from NE Orygun.
A few years back I drove my '63 M35A1 on a 400 mile round trip. During the trip the strap hardware on the bow corners wore a hole through the brand new NOS canvas top in at least two places.
Question regarding vinyl cover--when you folks are on the road, do you...
mfg/sn unknown can also mean it is an early truck that had a depot rebuild. I think when that happens the original data plate is removed, and replaced with a generic plate that has the registration number. That, at least, was the story with my 63 Studebaker.
Thank you for serving. The east coast trucks are going for $1500-2000, looks like. The key is in prior inspection--which you can't do. Were I any where near NC, I'd be happy to go inspect one for you to bid on. Maybe one of the east coast folks will ring in with that offer.

I run a 3/4 hp multi-stage pump that's down 60 feet, two refrigerators, a freezer, a Directv dish...
Congrats on a really nice looking truck. Wish I wasn't 3000 miles from Redstone. They've got way more trucks, way cheaper than here in the Pacific NW.
And no, I'm not eager for a 3000 mile trip at deuce speeds. :-D
My 1988 deuce, also from Oregon, has the low heater intake as well. Factory installed heater would be my guess.
Coug, send me your 88K number, and if it's one of the four that was shipped with mine, I'll send you a photocopy of the manifest.
And, hey, you shouldn't be shooting gauge pics...
