'48 Dodge Panel Truck

Jed the gavel price was $33K but by the time they add the sellers / buyers fees, it probably went up to $36.5K. When you watch Barrett Jackson and they show you the total $$$ sold for the day ( 7.3 MILL ) it includes everything. It should be worth it to watch on the weekend to see how the economy affects the bidding. Except for Ron Pratt.

Follow up on the solution to getting the stuck drum off the brake shoes on the '48. I was able to weld up some 1/2"-20NFT bolts onto some 3/8" bolts, assemble them onto my steering wheel puller and the drum came of the brakes pretty darn easy. So now it's on to having the drums turned, new shoes, rebuild the wheel brake cylinders, then do a full brake line replacement. Below is a pic (kinda blurry, think there was moisture on the lense) of my puller tool.
