That one has been for sale for several years on and off. I was looking at it but ended up buying a 1950 Chevrolet Coke Delivery truck a few weeks ago. I don't have it home yet but hopefully in the next few weeks will get it here.

Love it ! I have a 1949 3800 1 ton flat bed I have been working on for the fast few years. Mine came with the single rear wheels.
