I’ve got the 45 top off. It may never go back on

Not sure it's quite patina'd enough but did just get it running after four years in a barn.

This was the Christmas present from my wife. She's outstanding! My wife, that is.
Built in 1964. Sold and titled as a 1965 model.

Nice! Someone finally bought that truck (or one very similar to the one I’m thinking of). It was for sale a while and at a very reasonable price for its condition. Congrats!

Here is mine. It sat for over 30 years. I bought it from the original owner. I put in a new clutch etc, tune up and fluids. Electronic ignition and a new carb- saved the old one for a rebuild. We used to have one when we would visit family in Costa Rica.

In my opinion, way too much patina:

So, I started a frame off rebuild....
