Wanted 50's LTL

[Dan Cary]

Preferably Drivable, or at least Runs, to Restored.

Idk if they ever came with Thermodyne's?, usually seen equipped with Small Cam Cummins, but won't discredit anything .. 

Thank you. Regards, Dan.

what do you have to give somebody who has one entirely intact, original yellow paint but  covered with moderate tree sap, 2 transmissions from the factory, frame with all original rivets (no bolts or alterations), original rears , and newer 220 Cummins that ran 10 yrs ago when the idiots....I mean kids.....burnt the clutch.......asking for a friend

PS   I assume with the Hollywood sickos on strike, you must be outta work as a Paul Newman stand in.....can't you find work at the salad dressing plants for a while?

Thank you! .. again, extremely inexperienced & little time, I do have the help local Co. here willing to store/restore. As far as Value: I really have no idea, ie, All Original or to the contrary. The above possibly sounds like a great LTL to start with but I would have to ask & rely strictly on what it's worth for them to part with? 

Thank you, please keep me posted.

I was about to ask you if that was Paul Newman or you in the photo? Unfortunately, depending on where you are shipping is a fortune. Most cases it’s more than the vehicle price. Good luck bud.

When I bought my DM, I wasn’t even looking for one spotted one for sale just 30 miles from here and I was actually able to drive it home … in Nevada. Offset cabs are very very rare. Unfortunately I try to sell it a couple of times no takers at all.

Clearly, nobody wants them out here ha ha… Bob

In the 30 years I’ve been hanging around Nevada. I have only seen four others in the area…. Bob

I had seen the Same one on Truckpaper over 20yrs ago, white/yellow,gold & red frame. Idk if Joseph's owned it @ the time, however, i did see it on his page this past year. Shocked to see an addl two in his inentory, however, they won't return correspondence? 

I browsed this page prior to registering, idk how old the listings were, but there was a couple. Beautiful ex. in Texas & a 54 with a 400. These are the only listings I've seen in 30yrs (online at least). It's worth a shot.

Thank you, Dan.
