Thanks for the compliments. It turned out to be a very solid truck. Whoever did the restoration back in the 90's did a great job. It was stored in a very nice climate controlled building that made all of the difference. I had to replace the bed and was able to match the rest of the paint perfectly. I'm going over everything and so far no real surprises.

Yes Bill I replaced the coil with the blue Bosch coil. It had the resistor on the firewall. I'm not sure if I need it or not.

I need some help identifing the rear view mirror in the second set of photos. I was told it was a mid/late 40's car mirror, but I havn't been able to find it. It has a 2.5" stud coming out of the back going into the center windshield trim. I believe that the stock mirror mounts at the top. My friend has a '41 and that's how his is. I like where this one is mounted, it just needs replacing.
