Let me just say this ......
.. Finding my fathers old truck which I have not seen/dirven in 38 yrs and bring it home and getting it started.
Finding this forum (well i was here before this truck have a 63 fleetside)
still didn't think anyone was working on early Apache's.?
I've just noticed my truck mag's are filled with third gen trucks (55-59)
even going to a brake store in the city and finding an 55 yr old Hydrovac booster on the shelf ...Just doesnot happen.?
Call it Fate, Magic, I don't know what is going on.?
It feels like a was selected to save this truck yes I found it
Or did this truck found me.?
........................................... so this what i will do..My way
with a lot of help from good people I meet here and along the way
Thank you ..... scott (softpatch)

The dad (mr Vas-Gas) came over and he had some propane showed me how it went
This is turning into a "Father son project" and I'm ok with that.!

The tank was sound and no leak but we decided to go on the bottle
to start it
.
. We purged the system Turn, Turn, Turn,..... No fire
after a heated discussion.....
I won and put an HEI in it...the point were shot and another set
would mean another day.
I had the HEI set up on my spare 283
so threw it in...It just barely fit really close to the firewall
