Just a minor upgrade to a big rig I just bought- - - -a 1951 3 ton flatbed with a 270, a 12 foot bed, and a vacuum shift 2 speed rear axle. I'll be installing a 2 barrel intake from a 302 military engine and a 3 speed Brownie. 24 forward speeds and 6 in reverse! The truck was bought new for use on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville Alabama, and probably hasn't been more that 50 miles from there since it was new. It needs some pretty extensive brake work and a rusty floorboard repaired, but otherwise it's in pretty good shape.
