Hello to everyone,
Great site. My wife bought me a 46 1ton (overload?) when I got back from my previous deployment. To show my appreciation I try not to spend too much time with the truck. It has a flat 6 from a 51, but I have the original block. Runs very good, wood bed probably needs to be replaced. I'm not going to rod it out I think I'll restore as near as I can. In all it's seems to be in good shape, minor rust here and there. Are original wheels the widow maker type?

Billy
