That's a great looking truck, looks well preserved. Is it all stock still?

Nice. Glad to hear you are keeping it as is. If you need parts one option would be these guys. Steve has a lot of good stuff.

VERY NICE! So glad you aren't gonna wreck it with shiny paint and chrome. I'll forgive you for washing it, well, maybe. That is an amazing find congratulations. Right off a movie set!

In 1966 at the I know everything age of 15 I bought a '31 Model A for $95.00. The front axle assembly was included but in pieces. With nothing more than a JC Whitney catalogue, a book on restoring a Model A and my experience building early Ford model cars I assembled the front end. All in all a simple and straight forward process. I proceeded to pull the body and clean the frame and brush paint it with Rustoleum black paint. I got the body back on the frame and in running condition but by no means a driver. After I got my license I succumbed to the motor cycle urge and sold the coupe for $300.00. As many of have said, wish I still had it. Love your p/u. Enjoy.

In '66 my dad moved us from Seattle to Boston for work. I was only 13, but a few years later I bought a 28AA, well, I traded it for a flat bottom skiff I built. With a bronze worm gear rear axle it did 26 mph on the flat, pedal to the metal. Then my GF went to college in Vermont so I bought a BSA 441 victor special, which cut many hours off my trip North. Then it was winter..... Found a new girlfriend.

vermont winters and motorcycles are not a good combination!
got the brakes sorted and finally got carb working after many soakings poking and prodings
the first start up after getting the valve unstuck was a bit smokey
