Re: 1930s Truck as a Daily Driver???

ANswer to your questions. early 30's trucks wont have hydraulic brakes, they could have electronic starters though. the ride would be rough to say the least, if you have excelent roads around town and your in good physical health, you should be fine. these were used as trucks and not really transportation.

Filling Station would have a lot of the maintenance parts, again if the truck is an early truck with would bones, I would never put a v8 in it, the vibrations would force the nails out and it would basically come apart. If it were a mid to late 30's that wouldnt be an issue.

These trucks in original form would need alot of maintenance in my opinion. My dad has a 1930 Chevy car and it is constantly needing attention, not major but tweek here and a tweek there, it leaks a little oil as all do, but you would be the coolest dude in town IMO too!
