This is a one-ton pickup with a full 8-foot bed.  I bought this truck a year ago and started the restoration. As it turns out, I have too many hobbies and this truck is not getting the time it deserves. To date, I have done the following:

·      Entirely new brake system

·      New two barrel carburator

·      New fuel pump and fuel lines

·      New oil pan gasket

·      New spark plugs and wires

·      New hoses and belts

·      New radial truck tires and alloy rims (I also have the original two-part tires, rims  and hubcaps for those who want a historically-correct restoration). 

The engine is a 239 flat-head V8 and it runs strong.  The transmission is a factory 4 speed although I use second through forth as first gear is very low.  The truck has 45647 original miles on it.  The interior shows it age and the fact that it sat in a barn for over 20 years. The body has a little rust at the bottom of each fender which is to be expected of a truck 63 years old but it is amazingly free of rust over all.  I had the king pins and bushings checked and there is no play.

 

Mechanically it is in great condition so my good start now becomes someone elses’ baby.
