Thanks,
I have the impression - maybe wrongly and especially wrongly for you guys in the heartland - that pre '47 trucks are thought of as "just too old" to be done in the same manner as the '47 and newer trucks. I say this because I didn't really want my '46 when it came up because I thought it was too old. As it turns out, I was right that there are a lot fewer reporoduction parts avaialbe for them but there are sstill plenty and a lot of the stuff made for the 47's and newer will work for these trucks.

Anyway, a long-winded way of saying that if a lot of leads are posted here then maybe some guys who might not otherwise consider a project of this vintage will get some ideas...AND carry them out.
