I had typed in doodle bug first that was a close one     then asked logging or farm  just put that copper head gasket some place where someone wont scrap it  ;D have fun with it  will you be driving it to Boonville to the show this year  :D

[Kbeitz]

Wow that body looks to be in great shape.
Are you going to make a flat bed for it ?

[Jeff]

That's what I am thinking. Or stake rack. I was googling 46 dodge one tons. Wow, some cool looking rigs out there.   My first step will be to find the one missing part I know of so I can get glass in it. Its missing the from split windshield frame. Glass should be no problem as it is all flat.

[Jeff]

Here are the pics as we found it in the barn. it was quite dark in there and I only had the camera flash.

Nice find going to make a great project.
It is in great shape obviously it spent most of its life where the roads aren't seasoned every winter.

Looks like the frame is still in good shape, too!  Good bones is hard to replace.  Fixing rotted frames sucks...  Nice find, I love the lines.  I bet the old girl rides like a lumber wagon!

I'm thinking you might want to order a gallon or two of Blue Creeper to make your life a little easier.

A gallon or two of blue creeper would do ten trucks.

Are they 16 or 18 inch wheels . Look the same as Power Wagon wheels .

I dunno yet. Don't really know anything yet!

I went out and pulled up the tarp.  they are 16" wheels.

Since I have never tackled a project like that, the one to two gallon estimate, was an absolute guesstimate.

Wow you are a great husband buying Tammy another classic truck.  ;D
You going to clean it up and drive like it is, or restore it?

[coxy]

SHUT UP!  ;D

I dunno yet on what to do with it.  It wasn't raining so I went and uncovered it just to look at it. I like doing that!

[sandhills]

Ain't it amazing what us "good" husbands will do for our wives  ;D  I still think you should build a camper for it and drop in for a visit!

[Peter Drouin]

Nice truck, 8)

[Jeff]

Yesterday I got a call that I should come pick up the rest of the extra dodge parts, so off I went. 2 more doors, 3 running boards and the spare engine block.  This block to me appears to be military, but not sure. The other parts are a drab green, so maybe? It seems this tag on it.


  

 

[Ox]

That looks like a military tag to me.  A fresh engine, too, at one time.  The 5 ton 6x6 I owned once had this same style tag on its engine with pertinent information on it.  It seems most of these older military vehicles have been rebuilt at least once in the past.  Looks like the bore stayed the same but the crank had to be turned down .010 and the rods have .010 over bearings.  I wonder if someone took the rods, pistons and crank out of this fresh block and put it in the engine in your truck?  That's like getting a free rebuild of sorts...

It'll look good with a woodmizer behind it.

thought it was going to be on fire  >:(

[21incher]

I was waiting to see flames come out as you poured the gas in.
Don't forget the lead additive for the gas.
