Avoid ethenol gas for ur truck. Its not an issue if u drive it everyday but it will ruin seals in a carb if it sits. Atleast thats what hapoen to.my 235.
Chevy of the forties has new gaskets for fuel.pump.carb etc plus replaxements.
Id pay $250 for a replacement block and tranny. Just for parts or a backup motor to tinker with.
Real steel fenders are often expensive for that year model hold on to what you got. You can get glass fenders fairlt reasonable but watch how high $ real steel is on ebay
The economy was down and not many trucks were produced so urs is worth a bit as it sits.
As with volkswagons getting it titled before spending a lot is always a good strategy. Lots of horror stories on guys spending lots of $ with an untitled vehicle and losing it all to sketchy vin numbers bad previous auto sales etc
