Hi all, I've had this truck only a couple of months.
I got the truck from Peach Tree in Georgia. It's in pretty good shape. Runs well with no smoke. Body is solid with no rust. Needs new front springs which I'm about to order, and new spring shackles in the rear. Also needs the drive shaft seals replaced to stop, or at least slow down the gear oil leakage.
I'm limited to using my phone right now and still learning to navigate the forum.
Got any back story to go with how you found/acquired your "New (to me)..." truck??? Maybe some history about the truck? Looking forward to hearing more on the truck.

Understood that doing some of the things in the forums on phones can be a bit challenging to some of us (like me and my stubby fingeritis - LOL). Just takes a bit of patience until you get the process down.

Did you say "friendly?" You ain't seen nothing' yet. Try to drop by the Southern Bolters. And even in there, let the Florida truck owners know you are here!
Another "hey" to you.

Thanks Rich! Im having fun with her. Everybody waves and gives me a thumbs up when I drive her. I let ole Bill take er a spin around the feed store, and he was all smiles. Bill is 83 years old. He’s forgotten more about this truck than I know. Shoot! He was probably drivin one when he was 10. That’s how it was in those days. Thanks for the flowers
Thanks Kevin! Cant take credit for it though. It was like that when I bought. Ill get more pics up soon. Right now I have two broken front springs. Im trying to decide where to order new ones. They’re ranging from 109.00 to 250.00 each. I don’t want to spend money i dont have to, but I don’t want junk either. Any suggestions?
BTW I sent you a song. Look in the upper right corner where your name is and tap on the flashing envelope - that means you have a Private Message (PM).

I now you already asked the question about "springs" in your Driveline forum post.
Very sure some folks will come along and reply in that thread on your spring questions. The Shop Area forums are the best place to post those type questions.
Talk to you some more in the forums!

The gang in the Engine Shop will be able to help with that "burning oil" problem, I bet.
