Vehicle description

The years I have had my truck,,,,,,Was going to cut up to build a Rat Rod but did"nt have the heart to cut so I brought it back to life as it was intended. Bur time to move on to other ideas. This is a 1948 IHC dump truck. Beautiful truck with allot of time money invested. I purchased with paint job completed and is a nice paint job but with a wet sand and clear coat it would be amazing. Truck has all options for the year of production,,, Passenger Wiper, Vacuum assist brakes, 2 speed rear end.
Truck runs well and drives well. Brakes rebuilt, Vacuum assist rebuilt with federal tag. Tires about 1 year old, New tubes, Liners and widow makers were painted with 300V Epoxy. Interior is very nice with new seats and working cluster. Battery is a Optima 6V with a welded SST box. Engine was rebuild and is the green diamond flat head 6cyl. Carb is rebuilt
Items left to complete would be 1 more wire for rear brakes and brake lights, Dump ram needs re sealed then drive and tune as you wish.
Very little bits to do but truck is derivable as is, I really enjoy the truck but a new project is breathing down my neck and peaking my interest and I need the space.
For your interest,,, I am including in the buy it now price a fresh motor and trans/bell housing from a about 1969 in case you want to go RAT ROD. Engine is a 454 Chevrolet bored 30 Over, roller motor. Motor has bout 500 miles on rebuild. Trans is a 4 speed with super low 1st so more like 3 speed. This package would be an amazing rat rod for a very different ride.
Truck has new WA state title with vintage tags and copies of previous title,
If you own BAR, Museum, collection,,, would make a great deco piece, Put a flat bed in it for parades or drive it around your small town for fun work,,,,,
Really is a great rare truck, haven"t seen a cleaner KB5 this original.
