Thanks Wayne. I will try to post some pictures over the weekend.

I need a pickup to haul stuff so i decided to buy the 54 3600. It will mainly be used in the country for trips to grandma's, dump, etc. thus, not terribly concerned about achieving modern day highway speeds.

The truck is one of those IWRWIPI . I'm currently working my way through the great stovebolt tech article on bringing dead engines back to life. Im currently on electrical. It will not be a show truck nor will it be original to the experts but i hope it will look and feel like an old truck and that it is safe to drive. I recently removed the crappy power steering it had and will next put in manual steering, ignition, etc. i need to clean up wiring, fix the brakes, and, of course try to fire it up.

It is not an original stakebed but the bed will suit me just fine. The obvious clue that was pointed out to me after buying it: its long running boards. I purchased some short boards from desoto which should improve her beauty.

I just learned what a power steering gearbox looks like so i have my work cut out for me.
