Cool :Thumbsup

I think those are the best finds, when the sellers is like ‘Oh, those? Make me an offer.’ I wanna see the red one! :-)

From what I can discern fromthe photo, that door looks a little rough.
Maybe some Bondo will fix it. :thinking
Or how about super glue to put that part back on?
It does look original.

I laughed hard when i pulled on the filler some and it came off in one big slab! Guy said in the 80's he brazed and plastered the truck. Knowing cab forward was rotted to heck he bought a d200 from sc years ago to swap cabs but never got around to doing it. They been sitting since 2004.
The power wagon was bought new at a Agricultural Research Institute a few miles from me and has what i believe was a factory winch bumper seeing it has a pto lever inside. Truck has 47k original mikes. From what i see he added a lift and edel intake holley 4bbl headers a mallory electronic dist,moroso chrome valve covers and i'm thinking prob a cam? Yet to get it running do to bad starter.
The d200 has the /6 4spd and 44k miles it was a ice cream delivery truck and still has the propane unit sitting on pass floor/seat area.
