Went to look at an interesting TT today that was advertised here in Rochester. The back has sides that can be put in three different positions. Would be good for hauling hay.

Has the frame extension for aux. Trans. Must be 8 or 9 ft bed. Very intersting brackets on the bed. What is the wrighting on the bed?

Something " combination Bed"

Yes, the manufacturer of the “combination” bed. Having trouble posting pictures right now.

The brackets are neat

The Stoughton Co. Combination Bed, Stoughton, WIS

Probably these guys:

Looks like it Dave. Nice work. Another company that had to adapt to the motor truck. I bet that bed is pretty rare. Someone needs to save it. Sitting outside it wont last long.

The seller has it listed for $5000. He has never seen it run. I pulled the plugs and hand cranked the engine and it had compression in all cylinders. Didn’t open the transmission cover but the pedals didn’t have any grip. Rear wheels looked pretty good, not sure about the fronts. No good rubber. Sheet metal is pretty good. Back of the cab had replaced wood. Couldn’t open the coil box because a previous owner placed a metal plate holding the switch in the way. I suspect I could get it running in a few days. I told him to lower his expectations for what he could get. His intent was to ship it down to Puerto Rico to use down there, but the damage to his area from the hurricane put an end to it. He needs to sell it.

I think Dallas's son needs a truck. Or at least his grandson needs one. Just think how neat it would be to see both trucks hauling hay together, and racing the bishop's horse and buggy. Not that far to haul it from Rochester to NE Indiana. Just have to sneek it past those guys in Northern Ohio.

And my wife!

Well, the owner is willing to negotiate. He want to move from Rochester and is a motivated seller.
