1961 Ford cab over engine with 18 foot box with ramp door. This is a very solid car hauler. It was made by conversion of a show horse truck from WI. It has a beaver tail, numerous(11) welded in tie downs. and ramp door with counter balanced spring. Still needs latch for rear. Lighting removed for paint that never got finished and uncertain if all box lights are still around. It's very low mileage is due to it's limited previous use. Included are truck maintenance manuals. It has a five speed manual transmission and 2 speed rear axle. Traveled easily on Interstate. No air brakes, just vacuum booster. It needs paint finished, reassembly of trim and lights, and mechanically re-commissioned, due to it's time left idle (approximately 8 years). The tires have a lot of tread( still have small stickers that I assume are from new), but also a lot of age, with small sidewall cracks. The box inside measurements are as follows- at door opening 85.5" high and 79.5 " wide. insidepast beavertail is 77.5 " high and 89.5 wide. The length is 215" with 159.5 up on flat and 35" with drop for beavertail of about an inch, then steeper. This will make an exciting and useful car hauler or other uses. Presently in good dry storage at a friend's, which likely could be continued for a fee. Bid like you mean it, as there is no reserve. There is a non refundable $500 deposit due within 48 hours from end of sale. The remainder to be due within 10 days and prior to pick up. I will assist pick up to the extent of charging battery and getting out of the building in Lafayette, IN. Last started 11-14-15 and had good solid brake pedal. It has an up to date Indiana title and was last registered as a historic vehicle. To arrange viewing or for questions call (765)427-7078 Indiana.
