Thanks everyone for all the help, getting the rattle cans ready
Thanks, yep they have Ford Blue which usually when I see them in person looks lighter, maybe I'll give them a call
imagine if... I should call a parts store up there and ask LOL
Thanks, funny the year selection on the site jumps from 1935 to 1938, I guess 1936 and 1937 were bad years for paint... I will have to bookmark...

Good point about trying to find something that fits.
I may have to get new springs at some point, I think it still has the original red springs in it. BJR - where would I get an oversized sway bar?
Thanks everyone, did what you guys suggested and got them out. Big difference with new kingpins, shocks and wheel bearings.

Thanks Petejoe and others that pointed out the booster pin adjustment issue. I crawled underneath late last night after work and did see that the...
As an update, the brake fluid used was DOT 3. No dragging when I jack up the truck and manually spin the tires.
Funny enough, yes as a matter of fact it did last year thru the carb, but none during this last trip. I checked the timing and adjusted the carb...
Ok, got home late from work, I removed the check valve and it's bad AGAIN. Why would this go out twice. I picked up a new one and true vacuum line...
