UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Andy spotted this truck project with a dump bed.
“Willeys pickup solid steel dump bed. Truck doesn’t run but motor turns, hydraulic lift works. Restore or put that dump bed on your truck. Original straight 6 engine and drive train. Bring a trailer”
Just a curious question, does the hydraulic dump run off a HY-Lo pump that runs off the engine? If so how would the seller know the dump works if the engine doesn’t run?
Is truck still available
Hi Frank,
It looks like this truck has sold. I’ve updated the post.

Mike, that’s a good question.
I don’t know how the above dump bed works, but here is an example of a truck that has an electric motor that powers the hydraulic bed: https://www.4-the-love-of-jeeps.com/wow-my-61-willys-dump-bed-pickup-runs.html … so maybe all that’s needed is electricity to power the dump bed?
Dave, thanks, never thought of that. Morris Golden had a 54 Willys dump for sale, sold it to one of my neighbors back in NJ. No plow, I always wondered how it worked, this may have been the answer.
