Newbie Here - 1948 Dump Truck

Thanks!  Yeah, I am pretty happy with it. I really could hit the ground running with the truck without having to do any major work to it. 

 

I am going to feel the truck out. My goal will be to keep it as stock as possible. It seems that such a big truck isn't to common and that's kind of cool. The engine seems to be running good. I have a few things I want to get done as maintenance and such. 

 

1. Fix the passenger side mirror. I want to match the driver side, but they don't sell that by itself, so I might have to piece it together. 

2. Replace the door glass. Driver side is missing, the passenger side it cracked

3. Check all the brakes, replace the rear flexible brake line (and maybe the front too), then bleed all the brakes

4. Paint the frame, dump box and wheels. The dump box and wheels I plan to paint maroon, and the frame will be black. This will probably have to wait until Spring

5. Replace the rear tires. I might be able to get some from my work for free... we will see
