Hi Danny


Interesting puzzle, once bought a motorcycle that came in three baskets, yes it went back together and even ran well.


Agree shame you don't have the time to restore it, as you might find it an interesting challenge. If you do decide to take on the challenge of reassembly, other people have play the game of post pictures of parts and asking what is it with good success on MLU. At least here it is pretty certain what truck the parts came from, gets a little more challenging when parts are from lots of different trucks.



Moving on to the issue of selling the truck as a unit which is the best way to see that what looks to be a pretty solid truck actually gets restored, and not broken up for parts with lots of it just ending up as scrap.



To that effort to make a more attractive restoration project document as much as possible what parts are there. If you have space lay them out on like a blue tarp in groups of about meter square, so that each part can be seen them take pictures put a piece of paper,card etc. with a number in each photo group of parts. Photograph the truck so as to try and cover the whole truck.



Name of the game is to let a knowledgeable restorer get a clear picture of whats there and what the condition is.



Perhaps others on MLU could suggest other Dodge focused web sites the Netherlands or Europe which might be good to contact.


Best of luck.


Cheers Phil
