Value? 1967 M51 Dump Truck

[rickdavis81]

Been kicking around the idea of selling my M51 dump. I bought it to use for hauling dirt and rocks when building our house, well atleast that’s what I told the wife. I really like it and have spent a ton of time getting it in usable shape but think I’d have more fun playing with a cargo style deuce or 5 ton, possibly bobbed.
It’s a 67 Multi-Fuel. Tires are great shape 395’s, everything works, lots of new stuff. Runs great. Any idea where to start on an asking price if I do sell?

I’d give you a few papa johns coupons, $2000, some pocket lint and a big high five?



In all seriousness, nice truck!

Maybe if it was some quality whiskey instead of papa johns lol

You're crazy. That thing is sweet. Want a cargo truck? Buy the troop seats and cargo cover meant for the dump model.

I concur with Rich (Ajax MD). Get yourself the troop seat kit (it comes with the troop seats, bows, and cargo cover) and then you have a dump and a cargo truck all in one! I have one more troop seat kit. Send me a PM if interested.

I’ll look into them. Kinda wish the cab protector came off and back on easily. Might just keep it and buy a m35a2 project

I know where there is a running, stopping, driving deuce, even regisetered as historic here in Ca, for sale. If youare looking for a project, PM me.

 

[rickdavis81]

CA is a little far for me. Thanks though

I realize that. Maybe Simp will be taking a load this way, he could bring it back to your neck o the woods!

Probably...5K? easily

 

[rickdavis81]

I hope 5k. Hate to know how much I have spent on it lol

Big trucks usually don't command the value of Jeeps because fewer people have the space to store one or the tools and inclination to maintain one. I recently bought a M818WOW and a companion M871A2 trailer for about half of what a lot of people ask for a reasonably turned out jeep.

Way more than $5k.

Significantly less than an m929, slightly less than an M817.

But the fact that it's a functional dump truck adds real world useability and significant value.

Judging from the pics, it looks like you've done a really nice job restoring it. I'd call it $10-12k.

I'd also consider it preferable to a cargo truck. I second the idea of getting the troopseat and cargo cover setup and have the best of both worlds.

Looking back, I would have appreciated a dumper with the cargo top/troop seats for the shorter wheelbase.
