I just bought a 39 half-ton pickup and I'm still discovering some of the issues with it. Some previous owner decided that the way to deal with a rusted emergency brake cable was to cut the end off inside the backing plate and discard the toggle lever, eccentric bolt, and extension link and spring. I already posted my need for these parts under "parts wanted" but thought that I'd mention it here as well. This truck is remarkably complete but I'm discovering that's because nothing was ever repaired on it! I'd rather deal with that than to try to undo modern "improvements" done by someone else.
