THIS IS A RARE TRUCK. ONE OF ONLY 642 MADE. S140 4X4. WAS ORIGINALLY A POLE LINE SETTING TRUCK FOR BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF NEW YORK STATE. SOME SIGN OF ORIGINAL DECAL ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. ALSO PARTIAL DECAL ON DASH THAT SAYS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY. THE ORIGINAL BED AND FRONT BUMPER HAVE BEEN REMOVED LONG AGO AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC TO LINE SETTING. THE TRUCK IS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH FULL TIME ENGAGED FRONT AXLE (ALBEIT MISSING THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT CURRENTLY.) FRONT AND REAR PTO. HIGH AND LOW RANGE DIVORCED TRANSFER CASE. THE TRUCK SITS AS IT DID FROM THE FACTORY, HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED. ITS SIMPLY A HUGE EARLY 4X4 TRUCK. HAS AN SD240 ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN RECENTLY GONE THROUGH - RINGS, BEARINGS, SEALS, GASKETS, REBUILT STARTER, ALTERNATOR ETC. STARTS AND RUNS GOOD. DRIVES AND SHIFTS THROUGH ALL GEARS. NO BRAKES. NOT AT ALL READY FOR THE ROAD, BUT IT DOES MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. RUNNING OFF PLASTIC FUEL TANK SITTING RIGHT BEHIND THE CAB. BODY WISE THE TRUCK APPEARS MUCH ROUGHER THAN IT IS. FROM A RESTORERS PERSPECTIVE, THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY FAIRLY SOLID AND DEFINITELY A WORTHY RESTORATION CANDIDATE. CAB FLOOR IS VERY SOLID. NEEDS EXTERIOR CAB CORNERS AS THEY ARE RUSTED THROUGH. FRONT FENDERS ARE SOLID BUT HAVE DENTS. PASSENGER SIDE INNER FENDER HAS RUST. NO TITLE. THIS TRUCK IN PARTS ALONE HAS SIGNIFICANT VALUE. THE SILVER DIAMOND 240 ENGINE RUNS GREAT AND COULD BE AN EXCELLENT TRANSPLANT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAB, FRONT END SHEET METAL, DRIVELINE AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PARTS ARE WORTH POTENTIALLY MORE THAN THE TRUCK IS WHOLE. DUE TO SUCH LOW PRODUCTION NUMBERS WE ARE OFFERING IT FOR SALE COMPLETE AS A RESTORATION PROJECT. LOCATED IN COCHRANVILLE, PA 19330. ABOUT 30 MILES SOUTHEAST OF LANCASTER, PA AND ABOUT 40 MILES OUTSIDE PHILADELPHIA, PA. CALL 717-875-2271 FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO ASK ABOUT POSSIBLE SHIPPING OR DELIVERY.
