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

T Scott · 08-04-2022, 09:05 AM

No not red! Green!!!

Shoebox · 08-04-2022, 09:28 AM

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

TJ · 08-04-2022, 10:07 AM

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

Newc · 08-04-2022, 12:57 PM

Green? I have a green truck. History lost. All tin there- some missing small stuff. Got an Oregon title today! Winter project except eng is supposed to be fresh-try today. Newc

Newc,
I like it! Red would be ok. Sounds like a great project for sure.
Regards,
Chris

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

TJ · 08-05-2022, 10:19 AM

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!

Newc · 08-05-2022, 06:44 PM

PU was originally RED, then tan as a show truck, w dual chrome STACKS at cab rear. Sound familiar?? WA state licensed truck. Rebuilt eng all new, and STUCK hard. Newc

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.
