Default '31 Mail truck

For the first time in 35 years the mail truck runs again. I had gone through the engine back in '09, wish I had some pics of the crap in the oil pan, sludge, bugs rocks and sticks. Hadn't had an opportunity to start it until about a week ago, with a little tinkering it fired right up. Short video.

Looks and sounds great. Congrats and enjoy the fruits of your labor. More pics would be nice, or a longer vid. Gotta love that patina.
