Nice Rig!
I had a 46 GMC that size. Never restored it really, just drove it. Jimmy used a 228 ci but basically the same as the 216 or 235. Finally sold it to a friend and bought a 48 Diamond T. I restored that one. Drove it to AK and back in the 80s. Kept it for 20 years and finally sold it too. MN required commercial plates and commercial ins. which made it too darned expensive to play with any more.
Tractors are cheaper - no title, insurance, plates etc. No Hydraulic brakes either which are a PIA if you don't run them regularly.
Old trucks are a lot of fun though. I guess old iron in general is. Always got a lot of attention at the "Back to the 50s shows"
Thanks for the photo. And the memories...
