What a memorable story and a DOUBLE OUCH to that.

And why judge a work truck?? It is used and will never be a 400 point entrant. Try to find a replacement step that has BUICK molded into the step which has been worn almost gone because of the use. I agree with Mark. Park by era.

I love trucks so nothing on the market today. Fortunately I now have storage space available.

Claude, I would agree with C Carl on taking the wheels apart and trying to do it by your self if you are not experienced. The wood wheels on my trucks are one of what I consider high safety items and I let someone else make the wheels for me. I see that you are quite a ways up the St Lawrence but I have used Stutzman Wheel Works in Ohio and they are very experienced and do very good work. You can google them and get their number. You call and leave a message and they will call you back.

More than three standard deviations from the norm. Hope that helps

Ohhh the things I saw as a service rep with people and their cars. Wheelnuts comments about gals and junk on their key chains is correct. I have seen more than 5 pounds of junk the size of a soft ball size of junk on a "key ring" and I was asked why the ignition switch did not work well...duhhhh.

Could be inside, but looks similar to the thermometers that were on the drivers door in the 60's & 70"s

I use Teflon tape, but this is my favorite stuff to use. http://www.permatex.com/products-2/product-categories/thread-compounds/thread-sealants/permatex-thread-sealant-with-ptfe-detail

Or maybe a fire truck?

To me it really does not look like a boat tail speedster, but a boat bow speedster.

Pictures?

Not a temp sensor. A bad temp sensor would make the engine run rich or lean, but not stop. Could it be a possible bad ignition coil module?

Very possibly

IMO, That is truly a car to buy, drive, and enjoy. The master of that series car is Dandy Dave and the Chartruse Lady. As he might say, drive it like you stole it. Buicks are made to be driven. Would like to have the car, but I already have a number of projects to complete before I take on any more.

Happy wife, happy life!!

My thought is that they may be from a mountain wagon to shuttle passengers from the train station to hotel/ resorts in the teens. Look here for some examples. https://www.google.com/search?q=1915+mountain+wagon&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=nin5U9jpCZCcygTzqILgDw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=752#imgdii=_ http://www.orcasislandstanleysteamer.com/stanley-steamer-story/

The good thing about e coating is that it gets into every crack & crevice if done right. IMO, E-coating is the way to go. You can then put any primer over the ecoat. As for International Metal Striping, I have used them and they do a good job at a reasonable price. They are just west of Detroit Metro Airport.

I have a scope if you want to look at the cylinder firing

Here are a couple of pictures of Joyce and I at the Back to the Bricks show in Flint and the company the old farmer truck keeps. Saw Robert & his wife and their '52 BUICK.

Hershey is a great show. Been going for probably 25+ years

We toured the museum also and it was very interesting. A lot of cars that Joyce and I remember being on the road and some that I had as Buick company cars.

Pete, I thought about going but the $100.00 entry fee made it a no go decision. Plus this weekend is the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/ AND the Back to the Bricks in Flint. http://backtothebricks.org/ Which we will have the truck there which makes a lot of things going on before the auction.

For high end I would highly recommend American Arrow / Don Somer. Here is a link to his business. http://www.americanarrowcorp.com/ They do concours quality work. He will be at Hershey in Oct if you want to see his work and talk to him. (no I do not work for them, just know him)

Fantastic looking work

Terry, Try the Buick Heritage Alliance. Here is a link to the page that has manuals that you are requesting. http://www.buickheritagealliance.org/index.php/archives/search/1910+buick
