Denny,
I bought both vehicles in the states, I just returned this week from 5 weeks in Minnesota, where the 41 Chev still waits. Here in Sweden, the truck is still a rarity, and interest in pre-50's vehicles is still lukewarm. The 50's muscle-cars sell like hotcakes.
I think my truck could use a rebuilt starter, that will be a winter job. If the motor doesn't catch after 5 seconds I'm in trouble. Usually it is only a problem when the engine is warm. The float level could probably be set a little lower for the modern gas.
