Wow, I'd say. That looks like a fairly straight forward project. Great score.

Like others have said, looks like an awesome project, not having to start at the rusty very beginning. Way to go!

Good score. Any history on it, like old registrations, etc?

Hey Newc,
Since you asked, nix on the red. It ruins the character of a depression era truck. So many think it would be attractive in the planning stage. Then they can't help themselves and paint the fenders black and add wide whites. They have created a circus wagon instead of a sweet little truck. yuck, yuck, yuck

The factory tan color with black fenders and black wheels would look just right to me.

As much as I like red I'm with Cool Kat on this one.

PS: Looks like a fun project!

Dale , Marvel Mystery Oil should loosen it up. BTW is the Albany Swap Meet on for November?

Red was an original color choice for nearly every pre-WWII model year for commercial vehicles.
