Old school history..bear with me. When I was in high school, back then you worked for a buck an hour, to save for a "car"!..nobody bought you one when you were 16. Times change. So I worked, and a man asked me do you want to help me on Saturdays, and five days a week in the summer? I run an independent milk route. I signed on in '55. Spring through winter, and all summer, through 1958. Red, stepside long bed, with a wet, wool blanket over the cold milk crates. Try that today. The old Dutchman got me my SSN, my working papers, and he told me to "drive" on the back country route while he took a nap..(We loaded at the dairy at 5: A.M.)..and I was only 14 years old. Let me use the truck to haul things, a rabbit hutch, I saw for sale, whatever. He was my mentor, a true dear friend, who passed on. I found a Red, 3100 V-8, step side 57 pickup, ground up restoration. Although I've restored several Fords and Chevys over my time..age 81 now, today in fact, I now have that pickup in the garage, ready for memory runs...and call me crazy, but sometimes reaching back in time is good for the soul. It is for me. Thanks for viewing my post. Oh...I sure would like to find a Rochester 2 JET Manual choke carb for the truck..seems only kits are available. I'm a body and detail guy, not good on much after a Model A Ford carb, or garden tractor. If you know of anyone who has one for sale, or a good rebuilder? Kindly let me know. Again, thanks for viewing my post. MILKMAN. Here? Or if permitted..to 87yeoman@comcast.net. Stay well. Be safe.
