Ernie, that's me, I sent you a PM with the details. Here's more info on the truck: the frame number is : 8441783 the body tag is: 4062-2596 The glove box door is from a WC-10 so it does not have the correct data plate.
The biggest negative is that it has the wrong engine, a 1950's D42 Dodge car engine instead of a T-202 but the car engine does produce 103 HP and is still a 230 cid so it looks ok. It has almost no rust, just a small area in the lower passenger door where water must have puddled over the years. Windshield frame is rusted as usual. The bed had a homemade cover over and a piece of sheetmetal screwed over the original wood bed. From what I can see the wood actually looks good and might be salvageable. It has all 5 correct rims.Interior seat bottom has the original brown vinyl, seat back has canvas. The shift lever is missing for the 4 wheel drive, but everything else is there. The bumperettes are there but have a steel step bolted/welded on, easily removed. The correct reflectors are missing. The majority of work on this restoration will be sandblasting, priming ,painting, very little body work needed.
