(check out the custom hood scoop for the monster slanter!)

Nice, that should keep one busy

I especially like the "Retired" US Navy W300.

i like seeing them in there natural habit
love the hood scoop looks fast....
the wrecker and w300 think are the coolest

It would seem that Wendell being 90 minutes from Boise would present quite the logistical challenge to doing that kind of work.
A few words on the status of each would help. Which are "build" trucks v. parts trucks?

howdy! here's a brief rundown of the fleet, the 52 B3-PW I bought from a logging co. in Placerville, Cal in 1979, I drove it home to Colfax (45mi) without brakes! It is an ex-PG&E truck and was built at the San Leandro Dodge truck plant. Its a daily driver and has given me years of great service. The 1952 M-37 I have had for 30 years, its a daily driver also and is stock except for a lock-right diff in the rear. The 1967 W300 is a recent acquisition from New Mexico, it was parked for over 20 years, originally from San Diego (US Navy) it is currently getting prepped to start up, fresh fuel tank and lines, brakes, oil etc. I need to re-install an MU winch off the 65 W300 I have for parts, also I am installing rear fenders and tailgate off the swb 1971 parts truck , it will get new tubeless wheels and the NDT tires will be retired. the 318 seems to be in good shape, drivetrain is good, I have a set of 4.10 gears that are going to replace the 4.88s front and rear so it will step up to highway speed. The 1965 W300 is a non runner (sat parked for 30 years) it was a So Cal Edison truck and is equipped with a 318 and optional MU winch w/ capstan for power line work, I am putting the winch on the 67. The disposition of it is unknown after that. The 68 Fargo W200 is awaiting restoration hopefully this summer. It had an LU winch on it ( still has the correct pto on the 201 t-case) and will have a LU again, before I got it, someone had put a 1969-71 cab on it and steering wheel, I have a correct cab and steering wheel etc for it. The red W100 swb w/hood scoop is strictly a parts truck, it has a blown front 44F diff, a half-a-V12 under the hood but has a cherry utiline bed I am using for parts to finish the 67 W300, it also has the factory rear bumper! I will part it out next summer. The green 1969 W100 swepty swb has a 318 4sp it is a driver, it came from Utah so there is rocker issues and lower door issues, otherwise it is for sale for $2500.00 with a utah title. ( i have another cab that will go with it no rust) I also have a parts W100 swb axles, frame, front clop, hood and cab-no doors available. The 1971 D300 w/Holmes wrecker is a project, it had a 383 w/4 sp, (gone) nice rust free body and cab, 4.10 rear axle, an easy builder! It was stripped by previous owner, it wa the only D300 in our fleet of 5 W300 wreckers my brother in law had in N. Cal. years ago I would sell it for $1750 as-is. For you older Dodge truck nuts, I have a rare 1943civvy WF-32 1 1/2T 'blackout' flatbed farm truck! It has plastic emblems because chrome was needed for the war! I a the second owner, it lived it's life in orchards near Colfax, Cal. it was a daily driver but I have had it parked about 25 ears now it would also be an easy restoraion of a classic Dodge. If interested, pm me I will send pix and info. Well, thats it for now!

That 52 PW is my fav. Very nice

i want pics of the 43...that sounds cool

I love the 65 W300 thats very cool. The hood on the first one is sweet.

I LOVE the 9' bed trucks.

I see some hoods, know of any rust free for a '70?

I LOVE the utiline 9' bed trucks.

I see some hoods, know of any rust free for a '70?

Hey John, glad to see you on this forum.

That new W300 looks good in the fleet!
