I just want to start off saying that I appreciate all the people who have contributed to this passion. The things I have already learned here (lurking around before joining) has helped me teach my sons and daughters as well as provided them with future fond memories of these trucks. Fingers crossed the trucks stay in the family long after I’m gone.
I bought a 1947 - 3800 last year from a second owner who was best friends of the original owner. The original owner bought it new for his farm and used it as a grain truck in North Dakota. After 10 or so years he retired it and kept it as his personal vehicle. He kept the truck garaged and it was is prize truck. The second owner took possession of it 25 years ago and has kept it under a large awning north of Phoenix. I bought it, cleaned it up, replaced fuel pump, points/cap/plugs, the basics. I fixed all the switches and didn’t have to replace any of them. It’s all original and everything works great. I drive it around North Phoenix almost every day.
The 1951 - 6400 I just purchased from Colorado and it was a grain truck back in Nebraska. I will be modifying it for daily use for my company. It has a working dump bed and this truck is in very good shape. I don’t know who owned it or how it came to land at a classic car dealership but I do know the owner definitely cared about this truck. I intend to place this truck back into service.
Thanks for reading and letting me join this awesome community.
