From the nickle ads: "1941 DODGE WC 1/2 ton military truck, 95% restored, runs, will consider mid size tractor in trade. $6,840 OBO. 425-353-4719"
I'm pretty sure this is the one that sold for $3000 a couple years ago (would have bought it myself but had no covered storage and it seemed a shame to let it set in the rain). At that time the previous owner had finished a thorough frame-off restoration, had the chassis painted and cab primed, had overhauled the engine and had done all the brakes, wiring, gearboxes, etc. and had lots of parts to go with it. The bed still needed a little body work, but I'd say it was 90% restored back then, in terms of time spent on it. I don't have any interest in this truck or connection to whoever's selling it -- just thought I'd pass it on.
