1934 1-1/2 ton Ford Dump, 40 years in dry storage I put four brand new 700-20 tires, tubes, and flaps ($1200) on it and fixed it up enough to drive, it is not "restored" or a hot rod. Body sheet metal, frame, and dump body metal is in very good condition for the age. The cab is in much better...

Today I took the front hubs off and examined the brakes. Everything looks pretty good and certainly the drums and shoes look...

I just fired up the motor in my 34 BB Dump and it runs great. Truck is actually in pretty good shape other than cosmetics. It was driven daily when parked in a shed 25 years ago. Even the brakes sorta work OK. My immediate issue is that the tank is all gunked up. I am not really planning...
