That sure looks like an old U- Hual equipment transit truck. Did your uncle say he built it?? Because it would be ironic if he did. Every aspect of the truck is what U-Haul Corporation would specially order and built. From the color, to the black and Uhaul color interior with heavy duty vinyl floors. The ramp design was for jockeying, delivering multiple U-haul trailers from one location to another. They were not for rent. They would have been for district regional supervisors and also tasked by U-haul dispatch. Look up the paint code and build code, it might give a clue, it should be Base, Custom, or Special. More on that later. Actually it is kind of rare, as very few were made or survive. Most of U- Haul equipment was from Ford for those years, but U-Haul had the right to buy non rental specialty vehicles.

I ordered a bunch of brake and tuneup parts right after I made this video. But I haven't put them on yet. Oh and we got a new set of tires as well!

It's so much fun, I wished to live in there at least for a while to see these old cars parked in nowhere, and watching one or two of them return to life haha.

I've had a few 67 -72 trucks I'm building a 71 camper special cst k2500 402 sm420 .. they are the coolest toughest trucks as far as I am concerned.other than the dash pad ,and the seat if it's looking shabby ,just sand primer and paint . No plastic to really worry about.

That winch looks like one that people like because it is faster than most. Possibly a 8274.

Being a 72 I'd say it's a 396 or 402 in it's original engine sure sounds good for setting that long hope it works out good for you guys
