Canadian motor 218ci, has some compression, turns by hand (have a full engine /
carby gasket kit from the US that it comes with for if a rebuild was needed)
Radiator is good, holds water, no leaks
Comes with a nice pair of replacement cowl / parking lights
Reconditioned
original starter motor
Very solid frame / body
/ chassis.
It's straight: Both
doors open and close easy
Rust verylittle and
easy to fix - small hole in roof where signage bracket is, holes in parcel
shelf and a small hole or two in the body.
Only surface rust elsewhere with no pitting.
Glass all there bar
the back window and passenger side window. Quarters and front in good
condition.
Side stepsSolid. I'm almost
100kg and can stand on them without fear of them falling off
Obviously no wood in
the tray or tow crane, was going to try find a hand winch or suitable vintage
to put in it or just wood tray back and away you go.

No holes in cab floor other than where originally there is a wooden floor and kickboard which can easily be jigged up and laid down just didn't get to doing it
Cab mounts are good, will need new rubbers which are available from vintage auto parts for cheap.
Overall Needs work but
a very decent and solid base to work from. Tuff looking head turner with great
potential. As is where is.Buyer to organise transport ( I recommend Umbrella towing, find on facebook. Truck located Cedar Creek QLD 4520 for your transport quotes)
