Sooo glad to be here. Thanks for the replies. Keep 'em coming.

Those are some clean looking tailgates. Bill W, I looked at your garage and that '63 looks like it has come a long way. Good work there. Looks great.

I like the ideas of keeping the 6. Always loved an Offy manifold. My Uncle used them in his midget racecars. (no jokes, please)

Here's a scan of the original invoice. One of the interesting "options", if you will, on this truck is the 550 lbs overload springs.
