Below are pictures of the truck as it was delivered. Fred and Hank helped me get it off the Haulers trailer. Before I got it, It sat outside in a wet area and the front spokes actually rotted off. The steering column and king pins were seized up so we couldnt steer it. The front wheel broke as we unloaded it. There was no rubber left on the front wheels and the rims were loose on the wheels

I built a seat for it and bought a steering wheel from Ebay. I found a shop that could make two new front wheels. I drove to Wisconsin and bought some hard rubber tires on press on rims. It took about 3 months to get the wheels built at the wheelshop.

I made a bunch of adjustments to the carburetor and magneto but I was not able to start the motor with the crank. The gas tank was rusted out on 3 sides. I found a shop that fabricated a new one. After the new wheels were mounted we towed the truck to get it started.

After the truck was started I noticed that there was no first gear. I fished around in the transmission  but I didnt find anything. One day as it was idleing it stoped suddenly. The transmission was stuck. I took the transmission out and emptyed out on the floor. First gear was in 4 pieces. I searched for a used transmission and could not find one. I found a man that would make a new first gear.
The shafts in the steering column were rusted together. It took a lot of work to get the old rod and tubes out and save the column. New rods were bought and the levers attached.

I made a bed for the truck. I was looking to make it look barn fresh. Amazingly a friend had the hinges, side brackets and chains from a truck of the period. He was surprised to find out that I didnt even take the old paint off them.

I decided to make a top for it. I had the irons and some wood to go by. I used a piece of bead board for the top.
