The fuel pump needs a rebuild (no prob), which is to be expected. Then it's on to the brakes...

Are you going to put it back into service when it's finished? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 17 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 17 | Thanks, and yes, it'll go back to its 1955 configuration as the Anderson Public Library Bookmobile. In '58, they changed over to a county-wide library system, and the bookmobile was in service till 1991, when it was parked.
It will have 1955 and earlier books on many of the shelves, and a travelling automotive "research library".
Plans are to have it ready for the Anderson (SC) Public Library's 100th & the County Library's 50th anniversaries in the summer of 2008.
It's gonna be a blast to get it done!

TG | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 | I agree, that is a terrific find. It is a very straight looking truck. I see that the county folks take great care of thier fleet. I think you will have a blast just as you said. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 14 | Nice truck!
