    As former newsletter guy for the local chapter of the Antique Truck Assn. of America, I congratulate you. Now, is that the stock red?

    Contrary to popular belief, not everything needs to be cut. I wouldn't change a thing on that truck.

    Now if it were a beater.......................................................

    I'd call that a fine specimen of a truck. They were that high up from the factory, high, wide and handsome.

    Looks like it's been restored a little to me. Isn't the fuel filler supposed to be somewhere?

    NICE!!! I keep going back through the photo's trying to find something that's not stock, then I spied it...... the fire extinguisher..... there, now you can hot rod the hell out of it. (or maybe just lower it a tad, and a set of twin leakers, and a columbia 2 speed, and...)

    Without originals around, how will people appreciate the hot rods? Beautiful truck. Will I see it at the Dream Cruise?

    No, but I think reversed spring eyes was a dealer option... ;)
