Not that many Barns here in LV......Makes Barn finds next to impossible.
This 46 was owned by a good friends father for close to 40 years here in LV so it was easy to say yes to buying it. I have a few questions for you pro's if you would be so kind. My intentions are to keep it as close to stock issue as possible. What I know is that the prior owner had the stock engine rebuilt and did a 12v wire conversion. Otherwise it appears to be in fairly good original condition with a few minor exceptions. So here are my first few questions.
- In terms of value how bad did the 12v wiring conversion effect it ?
- I'm not sure but is it possible that the spare is the original issue ?
- There is a hole on the dash on the left just above the light switch
is that stock or someones add on ?
- If the wiring change blows the valve, would a 235 ci, 4 speed also tank it ???
- There is some light surface rust, although the worst of it is at the bottom
of the front fenders as pictured. Based on the snaps and your experience
what would be a fair value for this truck, not really sure if I paid to much ?
- I drove it aprox, 15 miles home and it seem to run fine, although with a 3 speed 45 MPH was about it.
- Where is the VIN number on the truck ?
Here's a few pic's and thanks for any help.
