After being stored in the back of the barn for the last ten years. I finally managed to clean it out and set the Power Wagon free, gave it a good cleaning and this weekend drain the small amount of gas (varnish) that was still in it. Find the distributor part I had lost. Fix a few other things pop in some new sparkplugs. And it started with some gas down the carb. At first it would not idle but after removing the carb and priming the accelerator pump was up and running great. Put about 12 miles on it a good portion of which was driving through the ditches on the side of the road for some fun.
1958 W300M Brush Truck was originally painted green with black fenders and is my intent to be again someday (probably). Has Power Brakes, PTO Winch, Heavy Duty Spring Option plus a couple extra in the back. My spare tire carrier mounts the tire at a bit of angle which allows for a little extra clearance when the truck swivels. I've owned this truck for the past 22 years. Sure is fun to drive like a portable carnival ride.
