Yes I would love to see this restored to new condition, truck and trailer. How often do you see these with the right vintage trailer? I t would make an awesome car hauler too!

I am not 100% that it is a 409, the right hand dipstick is the first clue,however the dipstick mounted in the pan, and sometimes when these motors got rebuilt the 409 pan could be used. Checking the #'s is always best.
A friend of mine bought a "409" dumptruck- turned out to be a 348 w/ a 409 pan. He was disapointed.
