This truck runs strong and motor is solid. I just did a full tune up on it. However I would recommend the new owner get rid of the Rochester carb and run a Carter or Stromberg. I just rebuilt the carb. but am not happy with the old Rochester's performance. New Carter or Stromberg and she will hum like a sewing machine !!!! Choke knob has been disconnected. Carb is now manual choked off the throttle knob   This Old Idaho Rig. with it's 63 year old rat rod patina. is truly one of a kind and a rare find in this original condition. A Classic. a Runner and a Head Turner. I get High Fives. thumbs up and smiles. everytime I take her out !!! Absolutely 99% straight body with no rust. except for the surface patina. Ready to clear coat and roll "as is" with the original drive train or drop a V8 into her. slam the stance and run her as a true Hot Rod. You won't find another old rig in this clean of an original condition or with this original million dollar surface patina. You could not duplicate this patina if you tried. It took 63 years in the weathering to come to this look !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only true heartbreak on this old rig is some "Dirty Dog" stole the tailgate off her and it probably hangs over somebodies back bar in a micro brewery somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!   Truck has Clear Title.
