i finally got the old thing road worthy. i have been working on my truck since i got it in january. it ran when i bought it but not good enough for test runs. i finally drove her to work today. she will do 50. maybe 55 if i cut away the rubber mat. the gas tank is still got some junk in it so i ordered a new one. you can get about five miles to a fuel filter. i will try to figure out how to do pictures. in the meantime she's a 6400 from 1951, with a 248. all stock flat bed dump. green of course, everything works now. thanks to the forum, it sure helps to get good advice from people who have been there. jerry
