Where are you starting on your U model ? I just started on my B model agian . last year we took it all apart cab striped and fixed completly sand blasted and new patches welded in . now we are working on the final body work before paint . going back together but slow one dime at a time . I had lots of pictures but they were lost when computer died . good luck with your truck! have fun Steve

does it make you bad to to protect what is yours and look out for your neighbors ? what is the world comeing to? thieves and dopers have more rights than honest working class people do ? now all the thief needs is a lawyer we all pay for. Steve

I live in southern vt . I went to Nashville auto diesel . It is a good school. I had a start like your son since I was big enough to walk I liked to mess with things that ran . and through high school auto shop and forestry . I learned to weld while in high school from my uncle who was a fabricator in our little town for years . out of high school went to Nashville and it was great you get a general knowlege of everything auto and diesel .I still use all the books from there sometimes . It was a huge shock from everyday vermont life to move there for a year as far as some of the stuff you see . good luck where ever he chooses to go . Steve

he was still around this summer . I stop in once in a while and talk with him about old trucks and such. He is about 15-20 miles from me . He is a good guy and he lets me wander through when ever . I tried to buy a b model off him He got quiet then changed the subject and told me I could look at em all. but did not really want to sell one. I spent hours there the first time.

Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone ! Steve

is it still original thats gas right ? were you able to drive it home or did you have to haul it ? I got lucky when I bought my 57 B-61 contour cab it was still registered in Ny with historical plates .so we were able to take it up the road and bring it home. We took cab off this spring and sand blasted it and put in some patches here and there it will be in primer in a week or 2. I have fridays off in summer months so I try to work on it fri-sat every week. how old are ya? I am 31 my uncle had one when I was little and he died when I was 12 truck was sold and we have not seen her since looked for it for 2 years off and on. so when this one i have came along I bought it . steve

Hi Eric my stop light switch is on the inside of the drivers side frame rail behind the cab it has 2 wires going into the top mine has a plastic top on it that looks like it comes off but I never took it apart mine was a broken wire. mine is a 1957 B61 I don't know if all used the same switch or not hope this helps .
