You don't. There is a link to the (no) picture posting policy at the lower left corner of the page.

Looks like a good solid truck.

That patina's is cool. It only took 60 years to create.

Yep! Whatever you do, DON'T ever paint it! You could never get a paint job to look as good as that one!

Cool ride - you picked a good one! thumbs_up

Love it man! Like I said on the HAMB, rub it down with some CLR and Scotchbrite and it'll look even better.

don't you just love it when you find something like that. very few appreciate them, me i find it exciting every time i do something to mine plus the fun of driving. i'm constantly amazed at how good trucks can be restored; however, i'm equally amazed at the these non-restored trucks. it is a head turner.

Thanks folks - its not getting painted whilst I own it. In fact I dont plan on changing anything at this stage until things break and then need replacement. They are only original once. smile

This is really a nice little truck. Kinda hard to find these in this condition any more. I would sure like to see more pics if you have them and maybe a little history. Steve
