Holcomb:
That truck looks like a winner. How does it run? It is the same color of my 51 3600. My son wants to paint it the original color when we paint.

I like that.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

As for the motor it is a little tired...so this summer I am going to rebuild it. 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..

Nice Truck Holcomb!
Looks to be in real good shape.
The rear seems a little low though...did someone lower it? Or has it been overloaded a few to many times?
