Care to explain yourself? secret If you're planning on leaving us hanging we cannot be much help. More details on your truck and what you plan for it to be when your done would help. Welcome to Stovebolt.

Have been working. I have a 1950 4400. Got it very cheap and it is a very solid truck,

I guess first, see if it runs, or what it would take to make it do so.
Then, see if it stops, or what it would take to make it do so.
Then, go from there.

As said in the previous posts, a great place to start is right here in our very own Tech Tips (use Tim's link or see the menu bar at the top of the page). We're happy to answer questions but you might pick up something in the articles that you might not think to ask about.

Welcome aboard, bote a youse goiz!
