Sheet metal on truck one is in good shape with
some surface rust on the frame in spots.
The previous owner went over a majority of the
body cleaning up the rust, applying minor bondo
to smooth out some dents, and repainting with a
light grey paint (similar to battleship grey).
The only spot rusted through is behind the
cab/in front of the bed which is typical for
most older powerwagons. The only thing wrong
with this truck is the engine has no compression.
The transmission, transfer case, differentials,
and axles are in good shape. I'm missing a fuel
tank cap and filler arm. The cab interior is
fair with missing floor panels and the headliner.
Everything elce is there and works including
the guages, switches, etc. All the glass is
there, but the two side windows are cracked
(I've saved them for patterns for new ones).
Truck two has minor surface rust on the body,
but more rust on suspension components (knee
action shocks and mounts, leaf springs and
shackles, etc.). It spent numerous years in
a field in Clear Lake before being purchaced
3-4 years ago (same owner as truck one).
The body, engine cowling, front fenders, and
running boards, has been removed, with all the
parts saved. The electrical is fairly well
shot except for the engine, but the sealed
components are still in great shape (the
origional voltage regulator, and similar).
I started working on derusting the frame, but
didn't get too far (I've had two kids since).
Someone welded a trailer hitch onto the back,
but it could be removed easily. There is a
spare tire carrier arm on this truck that is
in great shape. Now glass or windshield frame.
The other parts I have go with both. An
origional generator that needs to be rebuilt,
inside door panels, window cranks and door
handles, brake parts, origional reflectors,
hand crank arm, the 9.00-16 tires, etc.
Like I expected, most replys are requests for
specific parts, but I'd like to sell everything
togeather.
