THIS IS A PROJECT VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED AT AUCTION. IT WAS DRIVEN INTO THE BARN AND DISASEMBLED ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. THE FRONT SEAT WAS REUPHOLSTERED THE BRAKES WERE REDONE- NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED AND ALL THE FRONT SHEET METAL WAS CLEANED AND PRIMED AND THE RED PAINT WAS APPLIED ON THE INSIDE SURFACES AND THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SINCE . NOW THE TIRES HAVE SOME DRYROT the brakes dont work AND I WASHED THE DUST OFF OF THE METAL, BOUGHT A BATTERY AND SHE STARTED UP AND HOLDS WATER. I USED A BOAT GAS TANK FOR FUEL AS THE OLD GAS LINE WAS DISCONNECTED ALREADY. I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS 2 VALVES STUCK AS IT POPS WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS. THERE IS SURFACE RUST ON THE CAB AND FLOORS BUT NO ROT ANYWHERE. THE SPEDOMETER READS 12,000 MILES AND I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IT COULD DE RIGHT AS THERE ARE NO BUILDUP OF GREASE AND OIL AROUND THE TRANS AND REAR END. THIS TRUCK ALSO HAS A AFTERMARKET DUMP SYSTEM ( WHICH I HAVENT TRIED AS ITS UNBOLTED FROM THE BED.THE NEAT THING ABOUT THIS TRUCK IS THE NAME ON THE SIDE " CLARENCE RATMEYER " AND I HAVE THE ORIGINAL 1949 TITLE IN HIS NAME AND SIGNED BY HIM. THE BED WAS OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME SO IT HAS HEAVY SURFACE RUST BUT THE FENDERS ARE IN GOOD SOLID UNDENTED CONDITION. I BELIEVE THAT ALL THE PARTS ARE HERE BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE IT. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS IS BASICLY WHAT YOU GET.THIS IS A LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AUCTION AND I INVITE ANYONE TO COME LOOK AT THE TRUCK. I'M IN THE EXTREME NORTHWEST CORNER OF ILLINOIS, 8 MILES SOUTH OF WISCONSIN 50 MILES EAST OF DU BUQUE IOWA AND 45 MILES WEST OF ROCKFORD. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS CALL 815-369-5297 OR EMAIL .
