What will it be worth in 81 years

Whatever it's worth, you surely WON'T need to be putting a Vega steering box in it!

Things don't seem to be starting-out too well here for ya, huh? DD

We put in a Lares rebuilt stock box in '40 for a guy; worked great.

Up and running...........so far so good For short jaunts to the lumber yard, nursery, etc I'm pretty sure it fits my needs. Next project is replacing the front sway bar assembly. Some previous owner hacked them off with a torch The truck is a sprightly 81 years old and it looks like I'm the 3rd or 4th owner. Previous owners were obviously more concerned with cosmetics over mechanics so I'd guess it's around 90% stock. Runs great but will be needing some clutch work soon. Been converted over to 12 volt positive ground with a hideous GM one wire alternator staring at you when you pop the hood. It's a project.
