It has a winch off some 6X6 or something that runs off a pto. has a 62 up hood on it? as many dents on the truck they probably wrecked the hood? the hood was the right color (neptune green) though. the truck was a late production as the vin is--11925 maybe they ran out of 61 hoods. truck was painted red with a white top as a fire truck, and then rattle caned as you see it now. let the fun begin!
this will be my last build--as i am 62 (can't crawl around) over and under as i use to.

Welcome to the board from Arizona. Hope the bumpers are bolted to the frame and not welded like most that I have seen that have those big ugly home made bumpers. Most 4x4's were used hard and abused, as long as you have a solid original 4x4 frame you can replace the sheet metal from a donor truck in better shape which will save you a lot of time and money.
