Cool One of the last service stations near my parents house (gas and auto repair) had one of those as a plow truck. For the last several years they had it, I think they only used it on their lot, and I never saw it move except during the winter.

Neat find, Bill. Is it terminally rusty?

They are definitely rare around me. Not sure I've seen one in years. When I was younger, I saw the service station one almost every day, but even back then, it was pretty much the only one I'd see.

Nice. I've never been overly fond of these, but that one actually looks like fun. They don't seem too uncommon around here. I know where one has been sitting outside for decades, and I know I've seen another in a yard recently. One of the we-finance lots locally had a fully restored one a while back, two tone paint, lots of chrome bits. Somebody put a lot of work into something that ended up looking like Liberace's farm truck. Yours is much better.

I don't think so.... Pretty rusty, but for a wheeler I think it will be fine. Hoiping to get back on it once the weather warms up a bit and some of the snow melts.

Thanks... Liberace's farm truck, spit a little beer out on that one I joined a Jeepster website for more info. Guess there is a bit of a following. Lots of info.May sell a few parts off it I don't need and wheel it. Will see how well it runs, once I get it actually running.
