First off, Thanks for this site!! It has been a big help.

Got started on the 1 ton and have pics on photobook but I am getting to a point where some choices have to be made.

I plan on keeping the 1959 235 the truck had when I bought it, I will put in a short water pump so the rad. support will look alot better.

Would like to keep it a 4 speed. Will a muncie m22 go in the truck while keeping the original floor? And what about adding overdrive? I think it would go nicely with the 4.10 rear after I swap the third member. But this is new territory for me, so I am open to suggestions.

I bought this truck several years ago from a guy in his 90s and he was the original owner. He had the 216 replaced with the 235 in the 70s and he used the truck in his electrical business. I brought it home and stored it in my barn, I'd like to say look at the great barn find but I knew it was in there.

This is what it looked like when I started

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

The motor is on the stand, the tranny is on the table. Leaving the cab on over winter. I don't like to bury the truck back in the barn, but thats where it will spend this winter.

Hello, VintageHusker. That is a really beautiful Big Red truck there! Awesome thumbs_up

Thanks for the pics. Your questions would probably best be answered in either the 1-ton forum, or the new driveline forum.

Where's the big white "N" on the doors? hehe wink

Hey Scott! Nice truck!
Taking photos before during and after is a great way to keep progress moving! What are your plans for your Engine?
