I have replace so many parts on this truck...I still have to do the leaf springs front and rear....tranny seals... I have done: new wiring harness, brakes, emergency brake lines, fuel tank, sending unit, gauges, radiator, carburetor, gaskets on motor, door seals, All the glass has been replaced but windshield and back.....gaskets everywhere else...at least it doesn't rattle, ignition, lighter, turned the parking lights into turn signals, turn signal, put relays on the lights and ignition, hoses, fuel pump, and I am probably missing a bunch of stuff...This is a great Forum...Thanks guys.. 1951 3100 http://community.webshots.com/user/HolcombRacing11 "Every child is an artist.
