Yeah I'm selling it in the swap meet but my purpose here is to gloat on my accomplishment, The truck turned out better than I had hoped. Took a lot of hours and money, but, looks and drives great, I can't believe how easy this truck starts, almost instant. Been driving to town and all around to get exposure. Sure is fun to drive, really hate to sell it, daughter in college and that is more important and expensive. Been thinking about putting a radio in it, it is 12 volt now, so should be a breeze. Has a trailer plug already on it, so anyone needing to pull their hot rod on a flat bed is ready to go, would be real easy to put trailer brake set-up on it.
Have new tire for spare, been offered rims by several good guys out there, but looking for something local, shipping is not cheap. All the tires are brand new and look good.
It would be a perfect parade or local delivery vehicle, just turned over 4,900, under five thousand? That's right, the farmer said that he would run it about 100 miles or less most years, and it was stored inside the barn in the off season, I bought 2 and the 49 only had 6,400 on it, the speedo was hooked up and working on both so, yeah, I believe it.
And yes I did licence and insure it for the road, get a lot of looks driving it around.
