Lets see pic of your trucks

Downtown today.  Still like my patina. 

[Merle Coggins]

Why are you taking up 2 parking spaces? Afraid to get your "patina" scratched?

That kind of move is usually reserved for Jack@$$'s, and you don't strike me as one of those...

[FlashBuddy]

It's a Fresno CA thing.

Poor eyesight! Depth perception not what it should be. Didn’t want to hit the Ford.

I’m glad I live in Wisconsin where I’m nowhere near you clowns driving with poor eyesight.

[pflaming]

Isn’t “clowns” a political reference? LOL

Yeah... what he said... ?

[pflaming]

Driving on the white line is an octogenarian safety maneuver because it gives two choices instead of one, left or right!  It’s a compensation for reduced vision!!! 

[DJ194950]

Compensation is what you might should be giving to the bus driver?

JB-

Finding that B4B script is amazing.  Getting that piece of Unobtanium off the dash without breaking it will be damn near magical.

I got one off once and only broke the one stud...

While this isn't my truck I thought everyone would enjoy it. I took this picture yesterday at a local pumpkin festival. It does not look like it has been repainted. Note the pinstripe on the grill.

   I bought this at auction Sunday. It's a 51 B-3-D. I started bid at $100 and a guy behind me went to $500. I let him buy it. As I turned to talk to him, he was saying to his wife that now he has to get rid of the tractor part. We split the cost, I drove it a mile home, disconnected the Bale Handler and loaded it on his flatbed with my forklift. And my 47 WD-21 in the background. 

 

 

 

yeah you did! I like it a lot 9 foot box!

Brought it in on a rainy day. Figure this is how i want it to look. Pretty much how i found it. I unsiezed it that day, unstuck the valves and resumed working on it yesterday, 2 weeks later. 
checked for spark,it has after cleaning the points. 
cleaned carb and put some gas in the bowl. It fires and runs for a few seconds,not bad for sitting since the 70's. 

so onto rad and hoses, a belt and try to keep it running for a few minutes. I used a slant 6 rad,it  should be enough for this part. 
12 volt conversion coming up,and time to start hunting for parts. Grille is gone, front  engine isolator is broken, bumper is shredded.

12 volt conversion coming up,and time to start hunting for parts. Grille is gone, front  engine isolator is broken, bumper is shredded. 

So,a follow up,unsiezed,unstuck valves and cleaned carb. Tested points for open/close. Plugs out and cranked it. Great spark. 
i did get a reman starter, my original had bad field coils. 
poured some gas in carb and it made a few bangs. 
tried and tried. Just a few pops. 
so turned distributor and opened the idle mixture a couple turns and it fired off!

patched in a rad and fired it again. 
ran it for 30 minutes. Debris in block plugged rad,frost plug leaking and water pump is pouring coolant. Im excited!!

so i wired the ign switch,and started it,and tried clutch. It felt fine so put it in reverse. I backed it out of shop, and into storage. Next round is sort cooling system and build alternator brackets.

Today I used my truck to tow my Suburban to a shop for tail pipe repair and safety check.  CHP/DMV Monday the 28th. Things are looking up! 

[Merle Coggins]

Can they safety check it, and sign off on it, without a drivers side door?

[pflaming]

They won’t sign off on it, just do a check for me. Then I will start the reassembly of the door and cosmetic parts.  CHP will further inform on Monday 28th, next week.
