I couldn't tell if the hoist cylinder was there or not. My Ford L9000 ex plow truck has twin steering boxes and a 16K front axle with 40K rears.

There's a better picture on the ritchie site that shows no hoist.

That explains it. I'm lucky on my former plow truck that Alberta didn't use a lot of salt like some other provinces so there isn't much rust on the frame and no rust jacking that I can see. Have seen vehicles from Ontario that are just full of cancer.

I think trying to start it is a great idea! People will pay much more for a running engine! Post a video of it while you are at it. Everyone loves 'Will it Start' videos. Heck use the video to sell the engine! Just be prepared so she doesn't run away on ya.

I think mostly because if it's in similar condition to the rest of the truck it could a frustrating and expensive endeavor. I know some guys on a farm who's brother passed away. His widow just wanted to get rid of the Cabover Ford he bought a few years previous. It was used as a cattle hauler and to haul bales. Engine and clutch was apparently rebuilt not long before he bought it. Nobody was interested and it sold for under $1000. It was in good condition and had a 400 HP 3406B! I've seen other good running trucks at auctions sell for cheap too. One place where the owner was retiring sold a dump truck complete with service history where they just spent a couple thousand putting all new brakes a couple new tires and fixing other things. It sold for $2500 and also had a 3406B. It wasn't the most desirable truck suspension wise but ran and worked good. Box and hoist was in great shape ad not beat up. I think it had Neway or Reyco air ride suspension.
