I noticed the add on electric choke. it's not original, but is a good thing, my opinion. I hate starting some classic cars/pickups, you have to baby sit them for the first 2-5 minutes in am, when starting in cold weather....sometimes...depends on carb adjustments..

Folks need to save many of your pictures to have memory of what a pretty much unmolested pickup looked like...

Carry on!!!

Waiting to see what it looks like after paint clean up!!!
Seat cover, feels alright from butt test - no obvious holes, gaps, will know once I pull the red velour off... Original Seat was Green Cloth ... Does anyone reproduce that? Or should I go with the Green Hounds-tooth cloth... Not really interest in Vinyl, to hot and stick for a Non-A/C truck!

Correct again! Original Carb was replaced by the Original Owner when he had carb issues... May locate an original to put on the shelf, future full restoration.

Was thinking along those lines; unmolested original (mostly)... Kinda' a "survivor" so may just fix what needs it, and keep as much original as possible.

Thoughts?

Thanks All!
Mike
