And the most amazing part...it runs!!!


Ya...the PWagon crowd will probably consider $8k a steal. Just not sure the purists are into buses.

Ha! I'd slap a turbo diesel in that baby before the purists had a chance to blow the froth off the top of their first latte of the morning!

I bet it would fire up still so you could drive it out of there. No brakes mind you. Enough to get it lined up good to be floated away.
That looks like it could be a mean machine in the right hands.
No idea of price but is last built of an era. records available to know that.

It would be neat to see restored. A bit too rare to modify. I used to have a 47 3/4 ton and a 1 ton. Both were the civilian trucks not power wagons.
