Thanks everyone for the pics that are awesome!
Well I was finally able to strike a deal for the dodge!
Over the past few weeks I worked a freeing up the rear brakes and jacking it up out of the old horse paddock where it had sunk in to the diffs. Once it was up on boards I wasnt too worried about winching it up the hill behind the farmhouse.
I had to winch and pull with my truck but the old Dodge finally made it up to the laneway where we loaded it on my trailer. It was a very wet evening and everything was very muddy and sopping wet. A final surprise was the original tailgate for the truck complete with footman loops still attached that the farmer had stored in the hay barn!
The next morning the first stop with the truck was the city dump where we unloaded 500lbs of wet and semi frozen sand, leaves, and branches from the bet of the truck.
To my surprise the bed was really solid underneath all thar but just a bit bent and scaly.
A closer look at the truck shows it still has the hinges for the troop seats and seat belt loops in the bed!
One question that has been bugging me is the trailer receptive on the truck. It is SMP style but the truck is -12V. DI'd the use a converter for the trailers or would the 24v bulbs work enough to use them?
