Do you have pics to share of your '55 6500, wetwilly5757? That sounds like an awesome truck! I am 13 and have not gotten the truck from my grandpas field yet, but I hope to get it start working on it by next year and finish it by the time I'm 16, but I figure it would be worth it to study up. Thank you all for the responses, info, and encouragement! I tell more about my plans and the story behind the truck. The thread is called "Fixing the family truck". It is in the "The engine shop" section on the forums and it should be on the 2nd or 3rd page. You can also find this thread by looking at my posts on my profile. This post tells you a lot of my plans including putting in a 2WD, manual tranny, 1990's dodge 12 Valve Cummins Diesel. Go check it out and tell me what you think! I will try to provide a link later, but can't right now. Thanks Stovebolt Members! Happy Trucking!
