Ray, yes the restored truck has a dump body. I am not that familiar with these trucks but the dump is driven by a PTO driven through a driveshaft to the hydraulics. One end of the driveshaft has a "universal" made of a ball end with a drive pin through the equator of the ball that mates with two groves in an outer housing. From what I heard, someone a few years ago drove down the road with the PTO engaged and that was the end of the lift. I think this can be repaired but it is not working now.

I have not talked with the owner, but I do know that he is eager to start on the restoration of a V8 1934 BB so he may be motivated to sell.
