I haven't decided on a name for the truck yet, but I will. Moose Head is going to be the co pilot of course. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Looks like lots of fun. Enjoy your project.

There is a small lake 20 miles from here a nice place to camp out. I'm going to name the truck "Old Bessie" after my grandma.

My 56 4400 is the same way. is this normal or just a coincidence?

I think the truck got stuck in a muddly farm field, and somebody hooked a chain on it to pull it out. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 162 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 162 |

You will have the coolest RV at any event you go to - your rig will be way cooler than any cookie cutter Winnebago!

That's a nice truck, it looks a lot like my '56 6500, even the color. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here. I have many of the old books on these trucks and if I can help just feel free to ask. Here is a pic of my truck "Spot". It has a 261 6cyl and two speed vacuum shift rear axle. Hope you enjoy that truck for many years to come. David http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5002/3f3sn5.jpg | | |
