I haven't heard from him yet. I might text him after the holiday. |
Sounds like an interesting day Joe! Always learning, maybe not the method of choice but you made it home and slept in your own bead at least:) I have a 3 cylinder in my 1974 Ford 4000 Tractor. I wonder if its the same one? Well I'm just getting ready to leave for the Auction. Wish me luck!

Take pictures, then take some more. I'm looking forward to your report.

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. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...5cde6970ef.jpg 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. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...e18fcff232.jpg |
Thanks for the update. Isn't driving them more fun than working on them!
That's an easy way to get a horn working. Had to do that to the 70 F350 I owned. Do you need a working horn for state inspection? |
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. |
Joe,
Since your truck is basically stock why can't you use the original horn in the center of your wheel? |

Like I said it is a quick and easy fix. And gives you time to get the original working.

By the way. I was talking with my son last night and he was asking what you guys thought of the bed. Funny thing was that he said "our truck". I think he is plotting to make it "his truck". :)
It's a lot more fun when you see it on the road. He wasn't quite as interested in the bare frame. |
Did you tell him we love it? That he could go into business making beds.... well no one said that but who knows after his college.
He probably thinks he has some sweat-equity in it. But tell him he got paid, with that 'A' in Ag shop. |

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. :) )
