Dumptruck Dolly
My first attempt at documenting a build on "THE" forum...Let me introduce "Dumptruck Dolly". A 1967 Dually pulled from the field/yard in Nashwauk, MN. It was used as a hay hauler on a Hereford Farm. 292 4 speed and pretty bare of options. My goal is to keep it a running vehicle during the build, and to make it a functional truck..."if it works well, or as it was intended, keep it...sort of thing. I will be adding a dump box that an Ely craftsman built, using electric over hydraulic power.
The name you ask? Dolly was a cow my father-in-law had while growing up in Ely, not far from downtown. Maybe the truck should be called Downtown Dolly... |

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Dolly makes it home...I was hoping the old wood bed would've fallen off on the ride...

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
I lived in Ely about 20 years ago, on S Central Ave. Really neat little town. That is a great start to a project you have there.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
We lived at the nw corner of S Central Ave and Pattison, big house with a stone wall bordering the street. My dad and I restored that house, we lived there about 2 years. It looks like Ely has grown a bit since then!

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
i believe the interior should be fawn (gray) and not being listed is normal. i think some 67's had red but fawn seemed to be the standard.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Ahh yes, across from the Moose. Cool...Ely is busy between Memorial and Labor Day...could use more industry with liveable thriving family wage for full timers. I am glad to be part of the area for my whole life and am happy to make a living and bring up a family...nice place.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
I got one last thing done before the end of the weekend. The bumper was trashed, so I fired up the torches and got rid of it. Now, I have to look around in my stash for that one silver painted bumper that's hiding in 20 years of part accumulation.
