To start with I want to thank all the individuals that have given tips during my re-build process. I have been working on this for over 25 years. Here are a few stats on my truck.
This truck was purchased fro the original owner, Pat Nixon, he purchased the truck just weeks after the bombing at Pearl Harbor. He owned and worked a farm in Northern Maine. The vehicle was built and purchased in Canada. It is a model 1434 with 134 1/2 inch wheel base. When I purchased it in 1984 it was stored in a barn, it hadn't been moved for a very long time. After working on it for a few hours mu brother and I got it running and began the trip home. That took over 4 hours to travel 100 miles. After doing some minor maintenance I used the truck to haul materials to build my second house. Then for the next 25 years I just kept taking things apart and re-working them. The truck was off the road for over 20 years while I was in the military. Now I hope to enjoy it along with my retirement. According to the information that I have gathered the truck is a 1941, seems to have some wheels that weren't original. The owner really couldn't remember just where he got them, seems the originals were worn out.
