What type of truck is this - Unimog??

[garydee]

I found this truck for sale - it's listed as a Unimog (but it's not a Mercedes). The owner said it's a 1961 French manufactured truck and is powered by a Flat-Head Ford engine. Any idea?

How much is he asking.

Wow! After seeing a good picture of what these look like close-up, they aren't the prettiest girl at the dance for sure.

Says it runs fine but needs a distributor and wires, surface rust with a couple of smaller pinhole spots in the floorboard. Has title in hand. He was selling as a package deal (98 dodge 3500 diesel 24 v, 12,000 trailer and this truck) for $12,500. Said he would let the Uni go for $2,500.

Thanks for the info! - Garydee

Well for price comparison - here is the only other place I have seen SUMBs for sale in the States.

They are not uncommon for sale in Europe though.

I talked to the owner a while ago after seeing "Unimog" but then realizing it was a SUMB. Nice guy, and a very cool truck! Its juat an uglier Unimog 404, hah! $2500 is a great price! They are SUPER rare, even my foreign military vehicle standards (at least in the US)...

Either way, I'll take that Dodge 3500 too!
