Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
I just bought a C-50 at auction, it has a 307 crate engine with less than 5K miles but has been sitting for the last 10 years, the sellers put some gas in carb and it fired right up. It has a tilt bed and 2 speed rear end. I have little experience working on large vehicles, any advice on this project would be greatly appreciated. Especially the brake system, any upgrades or tricks to help stop better.
Things to work on first
Brakes
Fuel system (adding saddle tank)
Tires
Later work
Remove cab and make few rust repairs and paint
Have undercarriage sand blasted and painted
