Wow, you took a major hit, my condolences to you and my high respect for your renewed life. Gods speed 

Now, that car, that must be a great deal of fun to show that to the public. 

The 31 got so many waves and thumbs up, even from HWY patrol, so I beeped the horn back at people and then I realized TANK never got a horn. So, out to the 49 parts truck I went. Pulled the rusty horn. Cleaned it up and installed it. Works great. WIN_20200611_07_26_35_Pro.jpg.04fc1c5f3eaf94bd51ced96440194ba2.jpg 

Also poached the heater a few years back from the 49 and got it going too. I ended up installing a 12v to 6V power supply to run the fan motor and not burn it up. At some point I also needed the starter out of the 49. I still go back to the B2B. Parts trucks ROCK. All Merle's fault. When I brought the 49 home I was asked "what are you gonna do with that." I joked and said its gonna be yard art.  She said, "Hmmmm... OK, his  name is ART."

Great story at first! Sorry for your loss. We are all stewards of these old classics, and i get the need for parts vehicles. Got one for free, then another for $300. And then he threw in another non related truck and a studebaker box for free. I cleaned up his yard and ended up with treasure.
