Dragging up an old thread.
Managed to find one and gathering parts to put it back to a somewhat stock unrestored condition, with a few subtle upgrades. It will not see a SBC, SBF, Hemi, Nailhead etc. under my watch but more a period correct version.
Getting difficult to find original parts but slowly getting there.
I did find a pair of unrestored commercial headlights and horn, thanks to the Barn and HAMB.
I have leads on a commercial grille but have to sell my passenger to fund it.
Plans are to update the brakes to hydraulic in the future as well.
Banger will stay and gathering parts to warm it up a little. So far have a Burns dual intake and a pair of Stromberg 81`s. Looking for a cast Winfield head and have a lead on one of those as well.
New wiring harness from Tyree as well as a 12 volt conversion with a stock looking generator. Adding signal lights, utilizing the headlights as well as stock taillights.
Presently need a stock ammeter, commercial grille with radiator cap, outside black mirror and original floorboards. I did get a drawing from a Barner for a toe board as well.
Pickup will probably not see a restore, body wise, as long as I have it.
