[Oletrucks] oletrucks list still out there??

[J Forbes]

Hi, I've been working on old trucks recently....although I did sell one, 
my 59 extended cab went to a fellow in Tucson who has quite a collection 
of late 50s trucks already.

I've been working on my 57 one ton, I got it registered and insured 
yesterday, and went on my first drive into town. The truck works ok, the 
old 283 is pretty tired, but it drives ok and the brakes work well. I 
fixed that stuff first, of course. I'm planning to drop a big block in 
it soon, but I'm going to try to keep the rest of the drivetrain mostly 
stock for now. (I did swap the rearend already, it has an 86 3/4 ton 
rear and springs). I'll see if the SM420 will survive with more torque, 
and see if I can find exhaust that will clear the steering box, and let 
me keep the bellhousing mount as it is.
