It has zero brakes!
If you have contacts in the auto supply business, we could sure use some brake parts donated and mailed up.
The rear brakes are out totally. New wheel cylinders and brake shoes are needed. I have not pulled the front wheels off yet but even the backs working would be a vast improvement over no brakes.
Shoot us an email if you have contacts that could be of help in this need. We must get 10 to 12 cords of firewood each year and it is tough to slow the old truck down with a full load on. It is a four speed tranny but going in "granny" only helps so much down the hills.
No wiper on the passenger side and the driver side is probably original equipment. I measured 18" long. Sometimes you can find a wiper blade at a yard sale for $1.00.
Also, it is running on maybe 5 of the 6 cylinders.
We need a full set of plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser, etc. for me to give it a tune up. Right now I see that is has a couple coil wires being used for plug wires. Hmmmm. Normal use what you have situation.
The bed of the truck needs to be taken off and a flat bed made. The bed only jumps about 12 inches when you hit a bump as it is rusted almost all the way through on the bolt on points. A good load of wood helps to hold it down!!!!!!!!!!
If you or someone you know can be of help, please let me know.
Have a great day!
You're not one to slow down or stop, but I'll ask around & see what I can do
