New Old Truck work started

[Nyboy]

Truck was picked up today, was told about 2 months, so I figure I will get back 3 to 4 months.

waiting with you

@Nyboy, do you have visitation rights or do you have to wait for the final reveal like we do?

talked with my dad yesterday during our cookout and happen to mention your project truck to him. dad was all interested since he used to own a '55 Dodge truck just before i was born. guess he used his for hauling wood when he would go out and cut some from a friend's property back in the mid 70's. i didn't think to ask him if it was the C-3 or one of their other models from the same year. he mentioned something i thought odd and you might know if your truck would have this same setup. he said he kept 2 different sized batteries in it. sounded like he used a 12 volt to turn the engine over and another to run the lights and any accessories.

Chickie I heard some trucks where 6 volt, what I thought odd battery goes in a hole on floor under drivers side. I always thought they went next to engine.

Red I will visit it sometime, but not often it's a hour and half away

 

[Nyboy]

Two months sound reasonable. (May seem like a long wait for you though ! )

This weekend will make a year

@Nyboy asked me to post these for him. He thinks it is almost done!
