Welcome,FlyingZebra!! Can't tell from the shadow,but it looks like you may be in real luck!If those are tube-less rims,(which I'm pretty sure they are!)(6-hole,6-lug). I'm still using my 10-bolt,5-hole rims,on my '55 2nd-Series 6500.(Bias-Ply) A lot of guys pay Big-Bucks,to swap a set of tubeless rims,and a good set of (RADIAL) rubber.Does the box (Hoist) work? Does the engine "Smoke"? If the answers are yes,and no,You're well on your way. The guy I bought my truck from,was"current", on parts-prices,knowing the cab would sell for a Grand,by itself. I paid $2,000,for mine,and didn't have much "wiggle-room",to squabble. I still need to finish my brakes. Front cylinders ran about $70.00/ea,and new stainless to the M.C.,and the cross-over,to the right "Splitter",ran about another $25.00. Both rear hubs have TWO wheel-cylinders. I haven't priced the lines,(rubber included),or the Dual-reservoir master-cylinder,but figure about the $500.00 price bracket. I've got over 4,000.00 invested,(over the purchase price),so I'm going with a dual-reservoir,just to be safe,and PROTECT my investment! If I were to up-grade to a V-8,I'd probably go for a disc-brake up-grade,as well. Hope this helps. Again,WELCOME,and more pic's,please!! Nice truck!
