Horn functions as designed.

Original Ford bottle cap hub caps currently installed on truck, as well as additional chrome aftermarket caps and rings if wanted. All four tires match and are Uniroyal radial tires, with the spare bed mounted tires being a period specific bias ply tire, available for use if needed.
The steering of the truck is as simple going down the road as anything built today. But you'll always keep in mind it's still a 60-year old truck without power steering, which is part of the fun in driving her. 

Some opinions on the drivability of this truck...While it's perfectly capable of being a daily driver, it's typically taken out on weekends and only of the weather is without any chance of rain (the initial drive from Hartford CT to Sandwich Ma when purchased was in the 50-60's and with a low front following me home with showers....and after getting familiar with the non automatic wipers, she made this two plus hours drive in total comfort and ease.

While it has the original four wheel non power drum brakes. no vower steering, and no air conditioning, it's actually more comfortable a ride over small bumps and dips in the road than my 2018 F250.The four speed manual transmission and lack of power steering is perfect for someone who enjoys "driving" a vehicle as opposed to those who simply jump in a vehicle
without paying much attention to each mile passed. While the ****ting is smooth and silent once you learn the feel for it, it you ignore or forget the exact placement of a shift because you're distracted by something. she will let you know with the occasional growl of missing that perfect placement. 

On the weekend runs to Costco, Trader Joe's, or the local Publix, its very common to have others gathered around, peering thru windows, and once they realize I'm driving her, asking questions and sharing stories of past experiences they've had with a same or similar truck. 

The truck typically starts with the pull of the choke and a tap of the key, without smoke or rough idling, which is part of the "driving" a sixty-year old vehicle. 

I'm letting this truck move onto another, so I can place my attentions on finishing the final resto work on the 51' F1 sitting next to her in the garage (finishing the disc brake and power booster upgrade install, the Painless Rewire, new factory styled fuel tank and the re install of the new oak bed and powder coated bed hardware). I am also about to begin the total interior rebuild of the Florida house after 233,000 gallons of water flooded the interior due to a snapped toilet water line while on vacation. So the room is needed and this one must go....unless someone has a keen interest in the 51'.
