No Title is available It is located in Clear Brook Virginia 22624 Virginia DMV has no record of this vehicle based on the VIN.I'm glad to help secure a new title in any way I can. It appears to be a complete original truck, though it was likely repainted at one time. It was stored in a barn for perhaps decades. It was likely in running and very good condition when parked. Unfortunately, the barn collapsed in a wind storm. The truck appears to have suffered no damage from the collapse. The collapsed barn provided shelter for the 90% of the cab. As such, the cab is in good condition. However the wood bed and a portion of the drivers side of the cab was exposed to water running off the roof of the barn. As a result the floor of the wood bed was completely rotted. The frame, tires and differential, seem to have suffered no damage. The back lower edge of the front fender suffered some rust. some of the paint has peeled off in places on the drivers fender, hood and front grill. However, there is little or no rust, as the peeling occurred after it was pulled out of the barn while it was being cleaned. These spots have been temporarily covered with axle grease to prevent rusting. It is two-tone with a red body and black fenders All 6 tires appear to have little wear. After all the years of storage, all tires still had air. It has a dually rear end, with a flat bed with wooden side panels Shown in the pictures is the truck as it was pulled from the barn. The bed was still intact. However, it was not safe for transport. As a result, we dismantled the bed and stacked it on the back. In addition to the wood bed, we found what appears to be steel sides, as if for an alternate bed. We are including those also. There has been no attempt to start the vehicle. The engine is not seized. The gas tank was held by two thin straps which rusted through. As a result the tank was removed and placed on the back. The tank will need to be replaced as it was full of rust. There is a automotive repair shop about 1/2 mile away. For around $200-250 they will get the engine running to demonstrate that the engine is good. Personally If I were buying the truck, I would rather do this myself to ensure that it is done correctly. Its imperative that the engine be turned over for a while to get the oil to all surfaces. However, I have explained this to the shop and they do seem competent. This is an option should you be interested. The mileage is as shown in the picture of the odometer There was no direct match on Hagerty for this truck. I included the closest match, which actually has a smaller motor. We have been unable to find the keys. We have a box full of keys, but none seem to fit. Perhaps we would have better luck if we knew what the keys look like. You are welcome to try the keys at pick-up time. Included with the truck are three factory Manuals: .
