HELLO AND THANKS FOR LOOKING, UP FOR SALE TODAY IS A RAT ROD PROJECT, IT IS AN ALMOST COMPLETE (MISSING A FEW MINOR THINGS) 1954 DODGE TOWMATER RAT ROD PROJECT, OK I AM A BIG FAN OF THE MOVIE CARS AND WAS LOOKING FOR A TOWMATER PROJECT TO TAKE TO CAR SHOWS, I GOT THIS TRUCK WITH THAT INTENTION HOWEVER RECENT CHANGES IN EMPLOYMENT (DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THIS ECONOMY) HAS LEFT ME TO MAKE THE DECISION TO PART WITH THIS TRUCK AND RAISE MONEY FOR EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FOR MY NEW BUSINESS VENTURE. SO HERE WE ARE, THIS TRUCK CAME OUT OF MINNASOTA WHERE AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT SPENT ITS WHOLE LIFE, I DO NOT KNOW MUCH BACKGROUND ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS, IT IS HOWEVER A PRETTY SOLID TRUCK FOR ITS AGE, (TRUST ME I HAVE SEEN THINGS FROM THE 90S THAT HAVE FAR MORE RUST THEN THIS. HERE IS THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, RUSTED FLOORS ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AT THE FEET, UNDER THE SEAT IS SOLID, CAB CORNERS SOLID, DOORS SOLID, 1/4 PANELS ARE RELATIVELY SOLID WITH SOME ROT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THE BED AND REAR WHEEL 1/4 ARE SOLID, I CAN SEND YOU TO A PERSON WHO HAS A SET OF FENDERS AND REAR WHEEL 1/4 FOR 100 BUCKS, ALSO A JUNK YARD NEAR BY WHO CAN SUPPLY YOU WITH SOME MISSING PIECES, THE SEAT BOTTOM IS FROM A 60S LEMANS WE THINK OR GTO, (MECHANIC SAW IT) IT HAS A 6 VOLT SYSTEM, THE BED IS SHOT, HOWEVER THIS IS A 50.S TRUCK SO THAT WAS MOSTLY WOOD AND JUST METAL SLATS, (EASY TO GET I WAS GOING TO STAY RATROD ON THIS BECAUSE OF THE COOL PATINA, LETTERING ETC, IT HAS BEEN PAINTED IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE ORIGINAL BLUE TO BLACK TO WHITE OVER RED, THIS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A PLUS AS IT COVERED ALOT OF THE METAL TO AVOID RUST, THE FRAME IS SOLID WITH NO RUST THRU JUST SOME MINOR SURFACE RUST, WAS GOING TO GO TO A LOCAL SCRAPYARD TO TRY AND GET SOME SHEET METAL (WAS GOING TO LOOK FOR EXIT SIGNS OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF HIGHWAY/STREET RELATED SIGNAGE TO STAY IN THE AUTO GENRE, FOR THE BED AND FLOORS OR USE SOME OLD BARN WOOD AND GET SOME METAL TO RIG THE BED UP, WAS GOING TO MAKE A WORKING TOW TRUCK TO THIS REGARD WILL INCLUDE A VINTAGE 1940S TO 50S ARMY CORE OF ENGINEER GENERATOR, IT RUNS, ( I HAVE HEARD IT) WAS GOING TO RESTORE IT AND PUT IT IN THE BACK HOWEVER THIS THING IS AN ANCHOR, IT MUST WEIGH OVER 300LBS NOT KIDDING, SO IF YOU WIN BRING HELP ALSO INCLUDED IS A REALLY COOL JACK THAT I FOUND AT CARLISLE PA SWAP MEET, IT IS SIMILAR TO A JACK ON A TRAILER YOU CRANK A HANDLE ON THE TOP TO RAISE AND LOWER THE BUMPER JACK AND IT HAS A SOLID BASE, I ALSO HAVE A REPLACEMENT PIECE OF GLASS FOR THE REAR, AND THE JUNKYARD HAS A TRUCK THAT YOU CAN GET A PIECE OF GLASS FOR THE DOOR, ALSO HAVE AN EXTRA VENT GLASS PIECE, A RING FOR THE PARKING LIGHT, TWO COMPLETE TURN SIGNALS, THE DOOR FOR THE GLOVE BOX THE COVERS FOR THE INSTRUMENTS AND THE HEATER BOX/SPEAKER, THERE IS NO RADIO, I FOUND A COOL SIGN THAT WOULD WORK REALLY WELL FOR A WORK TRUCK, THE TIRES TURN, WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WOULD TURN SO NOT LOCKED UP, THE NICE THING ABOUT THIS ENGINE IS ALTHOUGH THEY STOPPED PUTTING IT IN VEHICLES DODGE CONTINUED TO BUILD THIS ENGINE UNTIL THE EARLY 70S FOR GENERATORS, SO THE STRAIGHT SIX IS EASY TO WORK ON AND GET PARTS FOR, THE ONLY THING I SEE MISSING FROM THE ENGINE IS THE BREATHER COVER. BOTH DOORS OPEN AND BOTH DOOR HANDLES WORK (THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS NOT WORKING WHEN I GOT IT SO I FIXED IT AND IT NOW WORKS. THE BUMPER WAS GOING TO BE REPLACED ON FRONT OR LEAVE IT AS IS, AS FAR AS THE TOW EQUIPMENT GOES IT IS ALL THERE AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT IS PTO DRIVEN, HOWEVER THE PTO IS BROKEN FROM THE HANDLE IN CAB TO THE WINCH, IT LOOKS TO BE HYDRALIC, CAN ATTEST TO THE CONDITION OF THE WINCH, CABLES AND HOOKS ETC ARE THERE. THE ENGINE HAS NOT RUN AND I HAVE NOT STARTED IT IT NEEDS A BATTERY FOR A 6 VOLT SYSTEM. OH AND WHY A TOW TRUCK, I HAVE GONE TO ALOT OF CAR SHOWS BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE A 80 CAMARO STREET ROD, AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A TOW TRUCK AT ANY OF THEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GOOD GUYS HERE IN COLUMBUS, I WANTED SOMETHING THAT WAS CAR RELATED BUT ONE OF KIND, MY BUDDY SUGGESTED I GET SOME SHEET METAL AND MAKE SOME TEETH FOR THE FRONT AND DO TOWMATER, LOL THE SAD THING IS I WAS GOING TO DO IT. SO HERE IT IS, GOOD LUCK, NOW FOR THE RULES, A 500 DOLLAR NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS, I CAN HOLD THE TRUCK FOR AWHILE AS LONG AS IT IS PAID FOR, NO TIRE KICKERS OR DREAMERS, THIS IS EBAY DO NOT BID IF YOU DO INTEND TO BUY OR HONOR IT, NO SOB STORIES OF JOB LOSS ETC MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR FINANCING OR CASH IN HAND. THIS IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS, NO WARRANTIES IMPLIED OR GIVEN, YES THERE IS A TITLE I JUST NEED TO GET IT FROM WHERE I GOT THE TRUCK AND WILL HAVE IT IN HAND BY END OF AUCTION AS THEY HAVE IT. THERE IS NOT RESERVE FOR THIS ITEM SO THE TRUCK WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, IT IS PICK UP ONLY AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORT OR HAVE A DUALLY TRUCK WITH A HEAVY DUTY TRAILER THE TRUCK AS IT SITS WEIGHS CLOSE TO 7000 LBS GVW, THAT IS WHAT IS ON THE SIDE AND WITH THE TOW TRUCK GEAR IT IS REALLY HEAVY. SO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU COME TO GET IT YOU ARE PREPARED.
