Thanks Dick for the pics, nice to see that your chassis and running gear are in such good order. My chassis was so rotten that when I started to strip it large parts of it came away. Fortunately a FAT chassis turned up which saved the day. Have you rebuilt the engine? My truck had sat in a lean to for 15 years before I got it home. I have not touched the engine internals at all apart from new gaskets where needed, cleaned and rebuilt the starter motor, distributer,carb etc, even the air cleaner still retains the original horse hair for filtration. Fired the engine up 3 years ago and she's still running strong. If you don't have the metal wind shields that bolt to the top of the mud guards, let me know as I have a paper pattern here which I can post up to you. Keep up the good work, cheers David...
