One minor bit of trivia that is frequently missed. If you run later solid wheels (like you have on the back) you need to use an adapter ring to make up for the raised ring on the stock mechanical brake drums in the area around the inside of the lug nut pattern. Original wire wheels were stepped slightly to avoid this problem. The result without a ring is dangerous (a wheel can fall off) and you should check that the ring is there. I like the truck. I have a '31 RDPU truck
