In the search bar at the top of the page, I typed in 'Wood hydraulic dump truck' and a few other posts showed up with people who also own Wood equipped trucks. Maybe you could contact them for help? Also possibly google 'Ohio salvage yards' or 'vintage salvage yards. There were a few in my area that...

It was originally bought as a cab and chassis, and the dump body installed by a shop in the purchasers home town, who was a dealer fo...

Weight would be 4000 - 4400 depending on mechanical, gravity, or hydraulic type dump body, hydraulic typically the heaviest. Best way to ID after you buy it, would be to remove the cab and left side running board and splash apron. ID number was originally also stamped on the left top frame rail, abo...

Thanks to everyone who works so hard to update the standards, and makes them more accurate. It can make for interesting reading, and answers alot of questions us AA owners have. Special thanks to Neil Wilson for his dedication to these trucks, his research, and this web site!
