Don't press your luck!
 Sure, you know how to work on old trucks. Or maybe you're just starting in the hobby. Either way, safety is best learned through OPM (Other Peoples' Mistakes), not OJT!
Either as newly discovered wisdom, or a refresher, please read this article and live safely with your old truck!

Hello to all I just registered not too long ago and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Adam and I live in Ratliff City Ok. I'm new to the old chevys but have had an old International for some time now. I just recently acquired a 63 Chevy 2 ton fire truck that I'll be picking up this weekend in Crossville Illinois. I have also purchased a 55 Chevy 6500 flatbed here locally. For $50 I couldn't go wrong with it. The firetruck has a newly rebuilt engine and is in really good shape. I have wanted a firetruck for a long time and my wife bought this one for me. The 55 has a straight 6 that is locked up but the body is in great shape. I am not sure if I'll fix the 6 or try to drop a SBC in it. I am hoping to use it to haul hay or my tractor or scout. I apprieciate all the information you all have here and look forward to sharing my projects with you.
