4/7/17 Additional info: Truck is a 4 speed. Also, the truck has been converted from a 6V negative system to a 12V positive system. This is a very original truck. I estimate originality to be 95 to 99%. If you see something in the pics that does not look original, it means I saved the original parts in a box or in my garage and they all go with the truck of course. I know the entire history of this truck and to the best of my knowledge the mileage is correct. I actually spoke to the son of the original owner and he provided the history of the truck. Things I have done: Replaced some of the old cloth covered wiring.New plugs, wires, coil and Pertronix electronic distributor plate added to replace old points/brush system. Distributor still looks original from outside and I saved all original parts. Rebuilt the original carb.Added an electric fuel pump to bypass the original block mounted pump because it needs a new gasket.Re-upholstered the seat with non-original material; however I have the complete original seat frame.Replaced stakebody bed with new 5/4 oak and SS hardware, and the metal hold strips are all original.Pulled the bed frame off the truck, wire brushed and coated entire frame and brackets.Installed new temp sensor and gauge (still have original gauge and the dash was not cut up).Sanded off the gray and rust color paints that were on the truck to reveal its original red paint with original signage on the doors. This is how I tracked down the original owner's son.Added rear tail/brake lights for safety reasons on the road.Using linseed oil to preserve the paint patina. Only drove to antique truck/car shows a few times after I did all of the above. The truck starts right up and runs well. All lights work. Tires are newer and in great shape. The truck has a 1 and 1/2 ton rating and geared low from the factory, as it was originally used on a farm to haul items to market. The truck is fun to drive and gets a lot of looks and compliments when I take it out for a drive. Although the floorboards are original and in good shape, I did buy a brand new in the box floor replacement panel at a show because of the great price. I wanted to have it on hand in case I needed in the future. It is included. Things needed: Original radiator has some leaks. I have not yet pulled the radiator to see if it can be repaired. I do know that a brand new aluminum radiator is available on eBay, but I just haven't got that far yet with the pulling of the existing radiator to determine which way to go.The driver side window is cracked and taped and does function, but I would replace with new glass or acrylic. Same for the rear window.There is some minor rust/cancer spots at the lower outside corners of both doors, that can be easily fixed. I just haven't done the repairs yet, but should be a very easy fix. Buyer is responsible for pickup and/or shipping.
