More thanks about this entire subject...you have provided me with a ton of information, a big part of it is just where to look to find all of this...tclederman is NOT the only one who is a bit confused...'fessing up here...!!
Now that some of the very basic issues are behind me..getting an ignition key..(somehow over the last few dozen years, it was lost, misplaced, stolen or just simply evaporated)...new coil, fuel pump, carb kit..belts and hoses...I can look for more of this info. Since I know the truck's entire history, I know that none of the basic parts have been altered, with the exception of the motor...the 'dipper' gave up after about 20 years and hundreds of loads of wheat and cattle...so I am very interested in finding the "real story" about the one that is currently in the truck. I plan on 'visiting' it in the next few days armed with a flashlight and a digital camera...so I should be able to find...and record...a lot more....
Stay tuned...and thanks again...all of this is very interesting and super helpful. Come to Topeka and lend a hand if you want..!
