Exactly, he is probably $15k into the drivetrain, a little sanding and a paintjob it would be a looker for another 45-50 years

I am very tempted whenever I get a square body again to try to spray a Rustoleum paint job.
Not a fan of faux patina paint or semi/gloss clear coat over it.
I had a WWII military vehicle aficionado tell me he used genuine CARC paint w transmission fluid wiped on it to help preserve it. Just enough for a dull sheen.
I HATE that body style Ford. Ugly and nothing redeeming about the rest of the truck.
A few spotted today
Awesome Mini-Winnie headed back from the island. Ford van 4WD dually, and a little long, but I’d rock it.
It’s hard to see but that’s an old Land Rover behind those lawn chairs.
And the Dodge was an SRW W350 instead of the usual more common W250.

About once a month I try and take the ole Yota out and engage the 4WD and rear locker just to keep things activated on a regular basis but I still never tried out the Crawl Control feature on it - just don’t trust it enough without another truck there just in case.
All the dials and push buttons and dash lights are convenient but there is no doubt that I prefer good old fashioned manual gear levers and manual locking hubs over all this latest technology…

Power Wagon and military siblings time!
Some more…
That first truck has a healthy front spring pack !
And what kind of front axle is that in the red truck at the end of the second post of pics - looks like it’s a way older design than the timeframe of that era truck ?
Always look forward to when ya post these Power Wagon fest events.

While it is a thick spring pack, the individual leafs are thin and narrow, so they do ride decent and flex well for a leaf pack.
I will ask about the front axle in the W500, I believe it to be original, as I have seen others W500s with the same axle (Timken???).
This is at Fairfield, IA.
It looks kinda shiny, I'm thinking maybe there's some sort of protection on it. I use boiled linseed oil and I gotta say in 2 years I have bare metal sitting outside that still isn't rusted.
If it’s good enough for Garands and Springfields it’s good enough for your squarebody.
