fxfymn Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The Dodge is very rare. I'm sure a collector/restorer would be thrilled to get it.

Doug Maney Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I believe all of those trucks were scrapped due to pressure from the municipality it was in. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

HeavyGunner Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The Dodge is very rare. I'm sure a collector/restorer would be thrilled to get it.I was wondering if that was a rare truck because I have never seen a long hood Dodge. How sad if they actually got scrapped, hopefully you're wrong Doug.
