New Truck!

[a5Ben]

I just bought this 49 3600 and am trying to get it home by the end of the week so that I can try to get it back on the road. Im a newbie when it comes to old trucks so expect a LOT of questions from me. I've already wasted hours and hours reading the old threads on this site, thank god for google!

Anyways here's what the old girl looks like as of right now.




She was taken pretty good care of and was actually bought new in 49 by one of my wife's cousins. I was glad to be able to keep it in the "family" so to speak when the grandson of the original owner past away a few months ago.

I plan to go through the truck and get it back on the road before I decide exactly what I want to do with it long term. It's sooo original it's kind of scary. One change that I can see is that the wooden bed was replaced with a big flat piece of metal. Shouldn't be too hard to grind the welds off I suspect.

So tell me what ya think.
