What happens is when the truck is turned off the points are open and they oxidise. You need to clean the points with a point file or use about 600 grit wet and dry sandpaper used wet with contact cleaner (can also use brake clean, acetone etc.)
Keep the 216's running. 1949 1/2 ton model #1314 (US 3104) Brian
