Worth of 1948 Dodge Dually Flatbed?

[Nordby]

Friend has one on a lot he inherited. Body is straight, all the glass is intact, does not run, but looks complete under the hood. Interior and paint are of course shot, been sitting there for years, in some pine trees though with relative shade, and low humidity out in Black Forest, Colorado.



Anyone know what this is worth?



thanks guys, later, jon.

You might try searching the net for a power wagon club... seems to me I remember there is a place that sells parts to restore those old beauties.

I was visiting my parents and saw a old Dodge military truck for sale, $3500. It was rusted badly ( gaping holes ), missing parts, ect. Old stuff in good shape is pricey.

Lots of parts available from "Roberts Motors" in either Vermont or New Hamshire. I got stuff from them when I restored my 1950 Dodge Pickup, back in 1986. I have about 1500 miles on the truck since the restoration. According to Don Bunn the Dodge Truck History guy, my truck is fairly rare. By the S# he could tell it was a 1949 hold over sold as a '50 with the 50 upgrades--what ever that might have been in 1950, and is a bit unique in that it has the smaller box and is a three speed with shift on collum.

Thanks guys.



Just for grins, I'll try to get some pictures posted in the next week or two (I am out of town for a week, gonna be hard to get that done before I leave!). Pretty cool truck. Love to keep it myself, have to convince my wife that is a good idea though!



later, jon.
