I'm new to posting here too Joe. Your truck looks similar to my 1950 3100. You can find almost any part you need for Advance Design pickup trucks and they are considerably less expensive than a corresponding part on a newer truck. I see AD trucks parked or driving around in my town every day. Some are nicely restored, some aren't, and some are original and are just in town from the farm for the day. We only get about 9" of precipitation a year and the roads don't get much salt in the winter. Rust isn't as much of an issue here as in NY. I bet there is somebody here on Stovebolt that could give you advice on how to unstick your 235 engine.
