Re: New project
From what I can gather, this truck was an old county plow truck here in the U.P. There is a massive v-plow that came with it and it's about 3 feet or so tall and sweeps back by the front wheels. The NAPCO setup is an older setup so it has a driver's side drop front differential instead of the passenger side. I'm guessing that the county had a 55 1st series truck or older NAPCO and bought this one new and swapped in the drivetrain. The original 235 was also pulled out and another 235 dropped in, I have the original engine though. This truck sat for over 10 years but the brakes still work and it turns over with the starter. The shifters all work and the steering feels tight still. It's going to need a lot of work, the body is pretty dented but not that rusty. I'm not sure whats worse though, rust or dents. Hopefully I can get it fired up this week and see how it runs.
