    Its a 1945 KW. We could not find a model number on it. It belongs to a buddy of my husbands and he asked him what he thought it was worth, both as is and restored. The motor is actually a cummins, I know its yellow, but it is a cummins.

    Of course we have no clue what to tell him to ask for it as it sits, let alone if he restores it. Sorry for the picture overload, but maybe someone will have a ballpark idea??? :biggrin_2556:

    I'll have to ask my company.
    I drive that exact year/model daily... they've always REFUSED to buy new trucks. ;) :biggrin_25525:





    Seriously tho, one that old and depending on condition/parts availability, I wouldn't know where to begin to start.
    A brief web search shows a few places you might inquire.
    This one "might" be able to help.

    There's a truck museum in Brooks Oregon that might be a good source on info. They have a lot of active members with older restored trucks. Great place to visit and they have a steam up in August.

    That's a good idea too. LOL Its a family truck, so he's waffling about what to do with it.

    Pretty sure it's an old piece of awful color shag carpeting (shoved under seat area).
    There's a twist on each strand, like shag carpeting.

    I remember tearing out truck seats from 40's era, and seeing many were stuffed with moss/straw type "padding".

    I don't know how much its worth but there is a guy running one of those fully restored pulling a flatbed. I see him every now and then on the ohio turnpike and its definitely an eye catcher.
