Question Ready to run the yblock

I have been working frantically on all my trucks and now have the 56F100 painted meadow green and had to rebuild the carb again.
I left the doghouse off for easy engine work and hope to be driving it down the street this coming few weeks.

The big 56 f100 is awaiting the pertronix ignition and should be ready for summit truck fest.......cruise in.

I plan on a MARK K bed and they have a special 1000 dollars and free delivery. Otherwise ....has anyone bought 1 of their beds?

I am tired of truck work and hope to paint the last 56 in a few weeks also,and that makes 3 trucks I sprayed this summer.....wheewww!!!
Bill
p.s.---I will teach painting for a trade in pic taking and putting on the computer....still can't do it!!!!

I could be wrong but I was told summit truck was canceled. The replacement show was this past Saturday at Winks in Barberton. I have not checked the summit web site. Maybe the answer will be there.
