  1. I recently bought a 1954 Dodge C-1-B Job Rated 1/2 ton from my cousin who inherited it from her Mother, who inherited it from her Husband, who inherited it from his Father who bought it new in January of 1955. The truck in 100% original as purchased from the dealer. I even have the original bill of sale showing that the dealer added turn signals, heater, oil filter, and mud tires. It had sate in storage since 1980 when the old man passed away. My Aunts husband would go once or twice a month to start it and drive it around the block then park it. It has just over 42k miles on it. It had sat untouched since 2003 when my uncle passed away. When we went to pick it up we put air in the tires, gas in the tank and a new 6 volt battery and it started up and drove into the trailer. I was excited at that point. It had no brakes but the tires held air and it ran. Got it home and into my garage and put brake fluid in an bled out the front brakes. No leaks up there so went to the rears and the brake fluid is running out the bottom of the drums. Tried for a couple of days to get the rear hubs off but couldn't get them to budge yet. I will need to order a hub puller to hopefully get them to break free. (any advice on removing those will be appreciated) It smokes quite a bit when running so I may be doing a re-ring in the near future but as long as it runs for a while I will put that off. Put coolant in the radiator and it was spitting pretty good out the overflow tube. Figured the cap was bad so went to the parts store and gave them the truck info and took home a new cap. Put the new cap on and started it to let it run out some old gas from the tank and heard water running. Looked under the hood and the coolant was running out of the radiator top tank for sure. When I looked online for reasons the tank might separate from the cores I read that the truck had a 0 pressure system possibly and they sold me a 9# radiator cap. I'd like to keep the truck completely original but don't know what my options are for a replacement radiator or if the one in the truck can be repaired. Someone said to go back to the parts store and demand they pay for the repair but I'm not sure how that would even work. So at this point I need repair/replace the radiator, and repair/replace the brake system. Otherwise it is in good shape. I also noticed after bleeding the front brakes they seem like the shoes are stuck out and the fronts are grabbing bad all the time. Any tips on what might cause that? Wheel cylinders, brake lines, or master cylinder? Sorry for the long post I'm just proud of the truck I ended up with.
