Needless to say Colt was pretty excited. There were shifters, turn signals, and it was huge! I finally got him to head back over to truck #2. This truck is super rough, but pretty odd and neat. How many medium duty trucks have you seen with ifs? Now, how many medium duty trucks have ifs, but torsion springs? I personally have never seen any. This particular truck had an aftermarket leaf spring added to the bottom of it to stiffen it up. After some research it seems these suspensions didn't hold up and in 63 they were dropped and went back to old school leaf springs and a straight axle. This truck can be seen here:

I originally thought this Dodge was a 1968, but according to the research I have been doing on these trucks, it might be an early 60's model. These trucks used the previous model dodge pick up cabs which were 55-60. It was very rare to find one of these trucks to have a wrap around back window and this truck has one. The research showed that only 60-maybe 63 were offered with the wrap around back window. Our plans for the truck are to make it a mini semi sort of. I have a 76 C20 crew cab frame we might set the dodge body on. I'd like to get a sleeper for it and go from there.
