Just a quick note to say thanks for the add, and to introduce myself. I'm Richard. My wife and I live just South of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
We are the new owners of a mostly rough running early production 1942 "BM" 3/4-ton pickup. This isn't our first "old" car, but the earliest we've owned, and our first pre-war antique. The vehicle is from Southern California. It's in good condition and mostly stock. However, during its 79 years the engine and transmission were replaced with an early 350/350 package, and power brakes were added to assist the original drum brake setup.
We want to make this a regular driver. And because it is no longer stock, we intend to put a fresh engine and transmission in it. It also gets a heater, A/C, power steering and possibly front disks. When I'm allowed, I'll get some pictures up.
Again, thanks for the add!
