A couple things to keep in mind. I have a Chevy grain truck, 1972. I love the thing. Manual choke is a useful thing. It's a tank with split differential and goes just about anywhere. The couple things I will mention are, one, my insurance company hits me for $70+ a month to keep it on the road and it only goes three miles to the pit and 5-10 miles to the elevator. It leaves the farm only 20-25 times a year and they know that. I cancel the road insurance after harvest and only reinstate the first time I hit the road to the pit the following summer. Second, you should be aware that this is not a cushy modern truck. The trucks they make today are pretty comfortable to ride in and drive. Not so much back in the day. Metal dash, rubber mats, rough bench seat. I'm 6'4" and I can't stretch out. It's loud in there when you get moving. Flies down the road empty. Loaded is a little different. Plenty of power but driving with a load is definitely a partnership and you do your share. I could go on....but you get the idea.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
