Hello All,

This seems like a great forum and I am excited to join!

I just bought a 1946 2-ton dump and I would like to share some pics. I need to figure out how to do that.

Anyway, I need to get this beast on the road. I have worked on cars my whole life, but unfortunately am too busy right now to do the work myself. Soooo, does anyone know of a good truck mechanic familiar with old iron in Los Angeles who might be able to help me out? Or, as an alternative, do any local Stovebolters want to earn a little $ on the side?

The truck was running but would mysteriously die out when I was test driving it. It does not want to start at the moment. The carb was recently rebuilt. I think it is something minor (prob. electrical), but I do not have the time to troubleshoot it right now.

Finally, I would like to have the brakes gone through (at least one bad wheel cylinder at the moment).

Thanks again, and I look forward to meeting you all.

Sincerely,
j
