It is in rather good condition for it's age as it has been stored inside since it was new, and only has 40,000 miles on it.
It is all original with the exception of the sealed beam headlights and clearance lights which my great-uncle added sometime during the 1940s. I still have the original headlights and plan to put them back on the truck. And at some point he got tired of the original green color and painted the cab blue. When I can afford it I would like to have it painted in the original green.
The truck runs very well, but the tires are older than I am so I need to replace them before I put it on the road. It's presently missing the outside driver's door handle, so I would appreciate it anyone could tell me where I could get my hands on one. Dad still has the door handle somewhere, but he can't find it.
I'll add more photos once I wash the dust off the truck and get it on new tires.

I'd just about give two of my toes to own one of those. I've always had a soft spot for the late 20's as I can barely remember my grandad, and dad, owning some late 20's and early 30's vehicles. It does look like its in good shape. Please, please, don't hide it...drive it. Folks need to see trucks like that.
oh, Welcome to the stovebolt. Great place to be and lots of good folks here on the bolt.
I suggest posting the need for the door handle in the swap meet in the Parts Wanted forum. Not all members visit here in the welcome center.
Good luck and looking forward to more pics when you can. WOW. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 355 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 355 | ditto what achipmunk said and since its a family truck wanna adopt me  lol
