Think Jp bought this right before I enquirer about it!! Great truck, I have had a dozen 45’s and every time I get one I get that same giddy feeling! Never gets old!

any chance you have the pushrod that you discovered in the oil pan? I would like to keep it with the truck if you are willing. Seems like part of its story...

hOOTer, I’ll have to do some digging but I’ll be honest I doubt I kept it. Sorry...at the time I didn’t realize what a great future and lineage this truck was going to have.
I couldn’t be happier that she has found another great home here on Mud. Can’t wait to follow along on her new adventures
Highway run.
Texas registration sticker in the windshield. I opted for standard vehicle registration Instead of classic car registration. I don’t like being constrained and I take joy in the fact that it passes inspection yearly.
64mph on bias ply 7x15’s

......would have done the same... a standard registration.
It´s not a sleeper, drive & enjoy your 45 Can.
This picture is wonderful. What a personality.

Upon acquisition, the seller included a set of diamond white rubber mats for the running board.
Before
Removed the old, treated the rust with converter and fluid film.
Then put the new rubber mat in place.
It’s small stuff but it was tough to get them little screws back in with the board still on the truck. Took about 10 times longer than I expected.....

Steering box blew a leak. Seems like it might have been leaking for a bit. I noticed small puddle of gear oil. Time to rebuild.
Typical tear down.
3 shims removed from sector shaft. 6 remain.
Tightened up the wheel play to an inch or so.
Painted and reassembled.
Reinstalled.
Time will tell if the leak returns!
A day of my life donated to keep the drips from staining the concrete, and learning all about early steering boxes.

I did not know those were rebuildable. Nice job.
Tip of the day. Fill a leaking gear box with grease. Manual steering boxes generate no heat. Grease works great.
