Got to have a Dump Truck for Airstrip Construction?

Hello Backcountry Pilots,
Looks like I'm getting a 1953 International R-190 Dump Truck for my airstrip construction and just to use around the ranch. Should work for moving some fill. I'm getting a smokin hot deal on this sweet ride. Anyway had a great redneck Thanksgiving and got some more work done on the airstrip. This might make a good airport car too?
