Got up at 5 am frost on '51 6400 . pickup lit off shortly bi-metal contact on light switch opened but came right back. 2 speed axle balked a little, went in neutral for an instant then shifted. noticed rubber humping kinda bad and 2-speed axle kinda out of balance. Have learned to downshift then upshift. balance is OK then, usually.
Truck will have a few issues in the cold, but aim to drive all winter if the roads are fit for it.
Hope to go to a show at Vincennes University on 10-22-22 about an 80 mile round trip.
Was out on furnace trouble yesterday. saw a magnetic sun umbrella that might work OK on my no-paint steel (heavy) bed. have to look at that closer. Be good when hanging out on the tail gate. Is made for the service guy out on the hot roof working on A/C. Graduated from V.U. in 1969. best teacher is now about 87 so need to help him keep going!! Car show had 168 entries perfect day,good time,about 90 miles,no trouble.
