Give the Engine a good super tune. Install new Points, Plugs, possibly Wires, Check the Timing, Re-Adjust the Carb, etc. Also re-adjust the Valves if necessary. Use a good maintenance manual for the correct procedure. I would also put a Straight-Thru Muffler on it. That would give you less restriction which will give you a little more power as well as sounding a whole lot sweeter.

That's my plan. As for the muffler, I think this truck already has straight through ones. The exhaust goes to the back of the cab and then that's it. And there is a muffler just on the end of that.

Right, it sounds like it has the original type set-up.

Did you ever get this truck running again?

I've always wanted to get one of these old flat bed or grain trucks. I think they're pretty cool.

I stumbled upon on recently that is in great shape. Guy bought it to take the cab and hood off for his C10. Its super clean, so I might try to make an offer on it just to save it from being torn down.

Its super complete and pretty straight like yours is. Seems a shame to tear it apart just for the cab.

Hope you get yours back on the road. Its a neat truck for sure.
