    Talking with the last owner the truck came as a 2 wd and was used one year then it was sent down to Vancouver BC by freight boat to be converted to 4wd-- just what he had heard from the other PO.
    we heard of 5 POs.
    So it has been in this British Columbia valley since new
    flathead engine spins by hand- the starter is sitting on the passenger floor and smells burnt?

    I can see the broken off bolts in the hub for that wheel cover
    thanks for digging that info
    cheers

    PS
    I guess everything is for sale at the right price

    It's fun to find out more about these old trucks, especially since I have a 48 myself, but these cool special made side company trucks are of special interest as they have even cooler history and are things we've never heard about, so my pleasure to do a little digging to help out, I'm not much of a mechanic, but know where to find help, so if I can help in other ways, it's payback for all the help I get here from the rest of you.
