I vote for the throttle T handle. It's really handy and the one I got at napa is all brass workings and nice chrome handle. I love how you can lock it at any setting.....Looks very period for a truck in the '50s.

I've got an electric fuel pump toggle over there. Nice to be able to turn it off for various reasons.

i really like the white paint. How about a putting the choke **** back in there just for looks!?! You could always hook it up to a switch that ran some under dash lites or something as you have such a nice truck.

I wish mine was that clean when I started. Thanks for posting. I am doing same thing with the master cylinder, so that was very helpful info (pictures). If I can ask, what is your plan for the battery?

Yes there are updates sorry I havent posted in a while. I got the engine and trans in steering is all hooked up as well as the PS hoses, just finished bolting the front clip back on, got the brakes all bled. I still need to wire it, have the harness just not there yet. Exhaust system and drive shaft are next along with the radiator with dual fans that I also have.
Thanks
Jeff
