I have sure spent alot of time looking at pics and trying to figure out what they have stock etc. I have had my 37 for over half my life, but like you said this one is a couple generations older than that and it is very cool to think about all the systems that are Not there. I had checked out the gallery before I had even asked for pics of the truck. I also searched through the threads here to see what if anything was on here. There is just not alot of info about them, you have to dig deep to find it. I didn't even think of it being a 4cyl until I saw a pic of another one. I am sure I knew it at one time, but didn't remember it.
I think that it will be about the same as a newer truck to fix up because on one hand there are less systems and parts to fix than a newer one, but the trade off is that there is less info and availability of parts and experience with them.
It may be a slow process as it will be for my Dad and he is a few hours away. If I can get him to get the engine together and running, I can work on the new body after lots of measurements and then at some point get the two together.
The only thing that I am really concerned with at the moment is the radiator, or lack of one actually. I looked and I see that I can buy new honeycomb or new new style, both are very expensive. I am hoping that I can make another one I have fit in the grille shell and look like it is supposed to be there, if not we will just have to save up for it I guess.
Do any of you know if the radiator is even remotely the same size as the late 30's - 40's radiators?
