john deere 112 chuck wagon

I recently purchased a 1948 ford truck from KS. It arrived with a John Deere model 112 Chuck Wagon serial number 1481 on the chassis. The chuck wagon is in great shape. It must have been shedded year round. The previous owner said the chuck wagon is fully functional and it came with extra parts.

I purchased the truck for the cab and chassis. The chuck wagon needs to come off. It looks really cool but I already have plans for the truck.

Do you have any idea: what year this piece is (will help me piece together truck history); what the value would/should be; where I can find a good home for this chuck wagon; and/or which YT forum to post in

I’m not looking to make money, but if I can help offset the hauling fee or trade for old pickup parts, great. I don’t want to tear it apart and throw it in the dump if someone could use it or restore it.

Thanks for you help

If memory serves, the 112 is the second edition of the Chuck Wagon; the 110 being the first. A good, solid, dependable feeder.

Downpoint is that parts are almost non-existant anymore.

A good one, with the sideboard extensions, a solid running gear and PTO will fetch roughly $1400 on a real good day. Usually, will only go for $300 to $400 tho because of the lack of repair parts available.
