Just a little update......I have about 1200 miles on the truck now and all is well.It is running very good and the mileage seems to be very good.I haven't actually done the math on it yet...
Still sorting through a few little things but nothing major.I am ordering the parts tomorrow to put a disc brake parking brake on the back of the transfer case.
I am going to have to park it for a while as I need to pull the dash again .I think we are in for a lot of rain this April so maybe soon...
The truck draws a huge amount of attention.Everything from thumbs up,waving and hanging out the window taking pictures.Lots of questions and lots of people asking to take pics along with finger pointing and people saying holy **** and WTF is that......Its all good...
As far as the comments above.....Currently Flat fender Dodge Power wagons are fetching north of 100K US and have been for a few years.First gen Bronco's are also north of 100K US...Last 3 Diamond T pick-ups to go through Barrett Jackson were north 0f 70KUS...Some of you may know I also own a 1936 Diamond T and two vintage Mustangs..The blue book/Nada guide is for people who don't have a clue what they are looking at or know anything about...Its a guide for the ill informed......Its just a guide.
And yes...Rare does not mean valuable..I had a 1939 Canadian Dodge.Very rare and few built.Car really wasn't worth anything tho...
Grizzly value vs new trucks...there are many of us who do not embrace computer technology in new cars/trucks...We do not want rubber tired computors.I do not have to pull the cab to service the engine .I am a mechanic not a electronics tech.There is a reason why Gen 1 Cummins trucks are sought after.
The US market would pay a very nice sum for my truck.....JMO..............Cory
