I bought this truck in Missouri in 2003. It came from Kentucky, and was built in Detroit in 1956. It has a Chevy 350 V8, and Automatic transmission.
I have rebuilt both axles, the rear drum brakes, converted the front to new disc brakes & locking hubs, replaced all fluids, rebuilt the carburetor, installed new battery, starter, spark plugs, dist. cap, rotor, & module, valve cover gaskets, K&N air & 3 gas filters, Budweiser keg gas tank, speedo cable, seat belts, glove box , head liner & wind laces, seats, cowl lights, wiring, 10,000 lb. electric winch, and exhaust stacks.
It needs a horn, windshield wipers, parking brake cable, and windshield & frame replaced. (I have rust free windshield frame & new gasket + other parts.)
If you have Questions call me, Jim @ (805) 772-1895.
