Anyway I am now the proud owner of a 1952/1954 Jimmy 100, registered as a 1952 five window cab and with a lot of head scratching at the parts store and reading Stovebolt finally figured "54" frame with 248 cu in eng. and four speed. I bought it in Feb. this year and being retired I get to work on it seven days a week. What a Joy!
I been told the engine has been gone through and after unsticking a couple valves and replacing the push rods it runs like a champ.
With Stovebolt member help I have been through the brakes, steering, suspension... (lowering 3in front 4in rear) along with miscellaneous interior work . With fingers crossed I hope to have it ready for paint by the end of the month.
Like I said in my title, Glad to be here! Never could have done it without all of your expertise...Thank you!
