Very true, I was surprised by the fact it still had oil in the filter and engine block; both being of good quality.

Just a point on the Dodge badge. Many people think the logo is a Jewish star.

It is made up of "woven" lines not flat like the Jewish star. It is the Seal of Solomon indicating, among other things, interconnecting lives (or in this case some say the three Dodge brothers). It is an important masonic symbol used by Lodges to this day.

They did drop the sign about the WW2 period because people started connecting it with a Jewish symbol.

    Note: we've got an engine crane holder thing own, very good; and some manuals (which have been very useful).

    Note: having a look under the frame so see if it matches with the diagrams, I have in the manuals I acquired.

    Note: someone seems to have cut off a part of the chassis at the back of the truck and welded on these awful indicator lights, such a shame someone did that; I've draw out where the cut has been made on the diagram shown. I also show what is left of the flat bed, not much left of it.
