Do you have a spare bedroom? I might need it if I bring home another truck. I'm not sure where I would put another engine, but that is something I would just have to figure out.
I haven't heard from him yet. I might text him after the holiday.

Wow, I haven't posted here for a month.
Not much has happened on my truck. I'm enjoying driving it too much to work on it.
I did spend a few minutes and get the horn installed. I just finished that this evening with a horn button on the column purchased from O'Reilly's.
Also, I was at the in-laws taking my youngest swimming and on the other side of the fence was this nice 53. Unfortunately the guy next door that has a lot of old vehicles come through is a.....well not a nice guy. Here is the truck. He buys and sells them, so if anyone is interested in buying, I can go talk to him.

That's what was on it when I got the truck. I have no idea what I did with that horn button though.
Since I registered as an antique vehicle, I didn't have to have an inspection. I don't have to renew the plates either. I was just talking with my dad and mentioned the horn. He asked about inspection as well. Actually, now that I have that, I think I would pass inspection. Well, I'm not sure if cracked side windows would fail it though.

I will look further into that in time. I'm assuming something was broken since they added the column mount horn button. My horn button is not on my steering wheel at the moment. I'm thinking something might be broken on it as well. I should be able to get it all working like original in time.

It's funny how that works Joe He does have a little sweat equity in it now. That is, unless you paid him for his service's Please tell him I was impressed!

I guess he does have some sweat equity even though it was all done in school. He was very particular about who could work on the bed. Also, when you let someone drive an old truck they either fall in love or hate it. I'm glad he fell in love. He couldn't understand the people who didn't think the truck was cool as all get out. (I don't either, but I'm old enough to avoid those people. )
