Dan-Is that really faded primer on that truck or did someone actually paint the racks and rims pink! Looks like a great truck to start on.

John,
It is faded primer. It dose have that pink color, most of that stuff is now off the truck. it is a little embarrassing since it can be seen from the road. when we get some warmer weather we will start pulling the wheels to work on the brakes.
Thanks

Dan,

Is your truck a tipper (dump truck)?? The box seems to be sitting higher than normal, as evidenced by the mudflaps, mudflap extensions, and the rearview of the frame. Somethings different.

BTW, I'm from Lincoln, NE and have a winch that you might be interested in if your other one doesn't work out. A friend and I will be headed out to Colorado Springs (I think) to pick up his composite CCKW bed when the weather gets better. Could possibly transport the winch for you if needed.

Let me know...

It has a dump lift on it we do not think it is military. I hope to get some more pictures this Saturday. Let me know how much you would like to get for your winch. When you get closer on making your trip out this way let me know we'll set some time aside and get together with you.
Thanks
