I should be all set here as well since the inspection is because of the state not town by town. Thanks for the info i'll be registering it first thing monday.
Thanks for the suggestion of the floor. I just found the bed floor on line but i've always wanted a hardwood bed floor. I figure the metal strips will be the same color of the truck. Not this color but something on the lines of this maybe. I'm going to keep the rear bench seat and wood bed rails...

You mean rubber that's been sitting around for 50+ years might be cracking/breaking down? lol
I'll differently be using the cross reference table. I'm going to be using Bob Stahl from Veteran Vehicles, he is about 2hrs away and was very helpful on the phone 508-384-7698
Alright time to take the...

Soon i'll be needing rebuild kids for the
Carb
Fuel Pump
u-joints
