Thanks to several threads on the forum I got my '53 1.5 ton started today. The distributor was out 180 degrees - - I got it as a non-running truck, so how the distributor got out of time is a mystery.
I'm a novice - - but that appears to be a push-type starter switch vs. an electrical type switch that would eventually be used with a push button starting system,
New member - - just saved a 1953 1.5 ton from oblivion. Was a tar truck in Shelbyville, Tennessee from new to the 1980s when it was sold off as surplus. The tires and wheels still have tar over-spray on them. Tar tank disappeared and a commercial flatbed has been added.
