Air up the tires, oil and grease the moving parts, check the brakes and have fun driving it!
Sure looks like one that should be left as is.

Great truck! You'll have a ball driving it. Hope you're not too tall though. I will never regret just getting my old truck "going" and leaving most unrestored. Someone put 16" wires on it during the war, I'm leaving them on.

Nice truck. Looks like if you did what Tom W suggested you'd have a lot of fun. What are your plans?

I would be interested in more of the story. How and where'd you find her ? Do you know any of the history. Looks great, very jealous.

There is nothing like a good old jalopy. I agree drive it. Nice find.

My Model A restored years ago and is pretty nice, now I gotta keep it nice.

My Model T is a jalopy. No worries.
