Hey everybody! I just stumbled into this place while researching some future projects for my 1950 1/2 ton. It's got all the problems, challenges, and charms of a pickup that old. I bought it in 1992 while in high school to be my daily driver and ran it for 8 years until the fiber cam gear on the 235 sheared some teeth while running down the interstate. What a racket that crankshaft made whacking away at at the cam shaft once it stopped turning! I'm just getting it running again and was amazed at how it just fired right up after a carb rebuild, new cam gear, and an oil change. They made them tough back then but you already knew that or you wouldn't be here. I hope to add to the conversation when possible and glean as much knowledge as I can. Thanks for having such a great place on the web.
