I love all the different opinions posted so far.... I personally like both original patina and restoration paint.. as long as you drive it and enjoy it I do not see a big issue with either. When I purchased my truck it had been completely restored at some point in the past. Do not know if it was a barn find or a rust project before the restoration but I do know that someone enjoyed it and spent some time/ energy and money keeping it running. I think that is the main reason we are all on this forum in the first place. Since my truck has no patina or original paint It will be repainted shortly.

I have the same problem with the pick a part places around here..... living in a small town makes finding parts harder I think!
-
I am having a heck of a time getting the top on with this filter anyone have tips? What am I missing here?
-
So with the wix filter do I remove the cone under the cap?
-
Okay not to hijack but I have a governor on my truck....thought it had something to do with exahust bypass at idle, it is not hooked up in my truck, do I need to do anything., it seams like some exahust leaks out.
-
I believe 15's are typical / standard on these trucks....do you still want pictures?
-
Anyone know which filter this is? Wix filter I got from parts store will not fit. Looks a little bigger than this one.
-
If I put this axle in correctly the shocks go toward the font correct? The axle bends toward the back of the truck? I would hate to think I put this whole thing in backwards
-
That's what I figured..... guess I have some work to do llollol
-
Anyone know how tight the kingpin should be in the bushings? These are very snug looks like I am going to need to tap it in with a hammer? I thought they were suppose to slip right into place? I have checked and double checked with D!MC and I have the right set for the truck, I have never done this before so I have no reference.
-
Okay I messed up and dug into a project and did not do enough pre planning....I am replacing the kingpins in my 1952 B3B and I do not have the shop manual. I have ordered it but it will take a week to get here anyone know of where I can get to the pages online?
-
After closer inspection I think I have found the problem. I have a worn out tie rod end and a sloppy king pin situation. It is not drastic but enough movement by hand that I think that is what is causing the issue , I will replace everything in the front end and see where that gets me, thanks for the tips.
-
I read something that a lot of states required door signs on trucks have not been able to get the whole story....anyone know?
-

Nice truck....I like the patina...I have a gas can holder on my 53 but different design... -
If you are going to spend so much money on the truck why Sell It? You will never make what you sink into a classic like this....might as well enjoy it for awhile....
-
That is always the best time...love the first time they fire up.....
-
I took the drums off and when i push on the pedal the right side moves.....
-
I am having a problem where every now and then when I push on the breaks the truck takes a hard pull to the left. I took the drums off the front and each pad is the same distance away and when you apply the breaks it looks like both sides move the same distance. I am not sure what to do.....I have bleed the breaks ....... anyone know what this could be?
-
They are a little beat up but I love the look!
-
Thought I posted a pic already but here are a few of my 1952 B3B....
-
Love the idea.....I just have a boring old chicken coop! I have seen people make footboard for a bed out of the front closed p lots of cool ideas.
-
I am interested to know as well...PO did not keep regular size on the truck......put too wide rear tireson..... I would like to get nicer rims and white walls...anyone know the original size, back spacing?
-
Love the truck. where are you getting your parts?
