Hey guys,
I’m a newb here and looking for any help with the purchase I just made. It’s a ‘54 truck, flat bed with the flat head 6. I know that they’ve been called “stake beds”, honestly don’t know how to tell the difference. Not sure what size engine it is. It ran 10 years ago when the previous owner parked it. Comes with a spare rear end as well.
My questions are:
How do I tell if it’s a 1/2 ton or larger?
How do I know what size engine I have?
What problems should I be aware of going forward?
What kind of “upgrades” could I safely and easily do? (Brakes, suspension, etc...)
Any help would muchly appreciatied. Thanks
