I've got some rocks that truck could move but then I would have to have something big to load them! Keith, I wonder if the truck you are thinking of is the one that is for sale in Nashua at "Dusty Old Cars"? It's the same color scheme (with black bed). I'm pretty sure of this one's history back to the early 90's in Maine. Maybe though... you probably didn't keep the engine number from the one you looked at did you?

I tried hand cranking it again this afternoon as it was warm and all I got was a couple of coughs out of it. I can't wait to get the bendix spring. I did play with the horn and got it to the ahhhoooga mode rather than the raspy honk. All the lights work.

Any recommendations on touch up paint for a couple of places on the door and back of the cab. I think it's the Vermillion Red. Looks for all the world like Rangoon Red I've had on a couple of early Mustangs.
