Re: Looking for Advice on Upcoming 1950 Truck Project
that will clearly run again with just some work on the points and some fuel down the carb.
nice find! keeping it original should be easy. someone has already converted the truck to a 235, the 848 casting means it is a later 12v 235 starting in i believe 57-58. that is yards better than a 54-56 235 and a football field better than a 216 which is what the truck likely came with. I bet it pegs that factory oil pressure gauge haha.
rebuild the carb, it looks like it is leaking more than a colander and make sure you clean up all the spilled gas before cranking on it too seriously.
start a project thread in the project section and i will follow it! great looking old truck, in medium blue thats even better.
