    Long time ago, I had mismatched batteries. I think that was probably the main issue but sometimes all it takes is a bad wire somewhere…. Bob

    I do know then they were telling me just one of the six v was a little weak. It would make a really big difference in trying to get it started. Actually what I think about it my DM was 24 V and I was having the same issue. I got rid of everything I put in an air starter. I was never really sure what was wrong with it. I just got rid of the whole system. I’m getting old completely forgot about this one under my nose. Bob

    I only owned one truck with the 24 V starter and it was too long ago, but it did have 4—6 V batteries of parallel switch but yeah that would make sense. I guess even today four six volts would give you a lot more cranking power than two 12s… bob

    OK, thanks for that now that you explained it it makes sense. I thought it was something like that, but I can’t quite figure it in my head.

    Typical dirt truck they’re all passing everybody. I got them gone by me all day long at 80 miles an hour but yes, it looks real good.

    Probably mentioned there was an L cab sitting in front of someones property around 320 miles from here right on the main though way here to LA set up there for quite a while. All of a sudden last time we went through there it was gone. Southern California, I’m sure it was pretty clean

    I’ve mentioned before I have three welders that I’m not very good at it. I’m still learning at least the past the stage where it looks like bird shit and actually have a little bit of flowing bead…. Bob
  11. mowerman
    That’s what I would do. I would just pull it off and redo it. Yes, unless your the luckiest guy on the world find one really close super clean but then $$$$$. If you’re good with the welder, you’re almost better off to work with what you got.

    Well, that thing looks like it has lots of life left. Good luck with it bud and yes, towing is a fortune. That’s not an option unless you’re working at local and don’t have to go very far…. Bob

    OK Larry it was $6,800 altogether. I thought I only had 40 feet turns out it was 68 feet all together.

    You did not mention it a whole lot of bodywork those things I guess they were pretty straight to be begin with

    I sold It that to a guy that said he was gonna use it in a commercial. I never did see it on television but the only reason I got rid of it was it had the old farm tractor rear end top speed was like 50 miles an hour. Body was absolutely rust free Southern California pick up no dance for what I remember. The body was pretty much real clean. I had three of those 48-51 and a 53.

    Thanks for that Joey the lines have had it. They just keep sucking air. I believe that’s the problem. I put everything away and went to the car show. Looks like it doesn’t get anything done this weekend. Made like five attempts I said I’m done told my pal with the El Camino I would meet him over there and it was getting late anyway by the time I got out there I’m not sure those lines are original. I don’t know, but they would hold up for 60 years. If that’s possible.

    Oh, I couldn’t get it started yesterday. I tried everything so didn’t do anything to it after I retired next Friday and and have plenty of time. I will pull up all the fuel lines and change them. I’m sure that’s what it is…. Bob
