And the cream of the crop IMO, a beautiful unrestored 1948 3100 with a total mileage of 48,000. Second owner Mark is the son of the original owner. Check out the nicely preserved paint on this truck (and the original pinstriping.) It also sported a Carter W1 carb, and an ingenious solution for horn mounting to install an oil filter. This truck also has never had a heater. Was originally a California truck (has a CHP inspection sticker on the windshield) which probably explains the heaterless thing.

[on edit] Per carbking in this post that Carter W1 would be original to the truck. I learned something new today.

Also a nicely done 1972 1/2 ton and a professionally done 1954 3100.

Horn relocation solution - still not enough room for the filter mounting u-bolt, but bailing wire works, right?

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
