My father bought the truck from a used car lot in 1962 when he was 20 years old. He sold it a few years later when he went into the Navy. When he returned from Vietnam, he bought it back. In 1989, he sold it at Hershey. Now once again in December 2013, he is reunited with it once again. Not many people can say they've bought a vehicle three times over a fifty year period.
It needs a few things to get it back on the road, but not much.

Keep it in the family.

I have always ran nothing but 30W in my antique cars, and I drive them a lot. I would think that a thick oil would not flow well in an engine that relies on scoops to lubricate the rods. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,185 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,185 | Steve, there are almost as many opinions on oils as there are oils. Ask what others use, in the engine shop.

Does it have the original drivetrain? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 61 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 61 | Nice looking set of wheels and a great story behind it. I'm new here myself and already the wealth of knowledge here has come in handy. Good luck on the build!
Whenever you leave behind failure that means you're doing better if you think everything you've done has been great you're probably dumb -Louis CK- '53 GMC | | | | | Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 211 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 211 | Hey Brave man, We need more pics!!!, Need a user friendly account. | | |
