Welcome. We are a visual crowd. Attach a picture or two of your 40 series. Paint a picture with words on how the vehicle came into your possession. Think about getting a silver or gold star (paid membership) to support this site. Obligatory welcome gesture in 3….2…..1…..

Found it on Facebook Marketplace. Bought it off a guy in Idaho that was using it to plow parking lots at the businesses he owned he in-turn bought it off a rancher in Montana that was using it to plow his drive way. In typical fashion its cobbled together. It has a Chevy 250 inline 6 that was poorly installed, lots of rust and lots of "repairs". It also came with some new sheet metal, (manufacturer unknown) a set of rear quarters, outer rockers, rear floor and both front floors.

BEAUTIFUL. Sounds like a good life lived to this point. I look forward to seeing your journey.
