They are a neat vehicle and there are quite a few members of the MVPA with them. They had the lovely V8 beating Ford flat six fitted in an off-set position. This one looks to have been shortened so maybe not worth the effort in returning it to it's former self.

I used to drive one as a ranch truck. You could put it in compound low and walk beside it loading sacks of walnuts, and hop in at the end of a row, turn around and do the next row. They were powered by "H" series Ford flathead six which was a better engine in that application than the flathead V8. That one looks to be shortened and tortured. Most of the ones I have seen had a BIG winch on the front.
