Hi Bob and Tony, and thanks for the replies.
Bob,
Yes, I saw some photos of a similar box also, (I think they were post-war Italian), and that gave me the idea to make one. It will work well for me as I can take the entire radio and all components off the truck in just a few minutes when needed.. We have an event and parade coming up here in a couple of weeks for Medal of Honor recipients, so I can easily yank the whole set out to give people a place to sit.
Tony,
The truck drives OK, but am getting a deep, low knock in the engine before oil pressure comes up when starting cold. I think it is a main bearing. I will keep nursing it with "motor honey" this show season, and pull it in the fall. Luckily, I have a customer who is giving me his rebuilt 235 when I install a V-8 in his '54 Chevy, so I will have a new motor waiting...
Thanks, David
