Looks good! I've got a '49 Dodge 1/2 ton that looks just like yours, except blue. It was my first car (my dad gave it to me when I was 14; I'm 61 now). It's been a good and faithful friend over the years - put me through college hauling stuff - and it still earns its keep. I pull out shrubs & small trees with it at my rentals (in compound low), haul sand for my grandson's sandbox, etc. I've had a lot of vehicles, but nothing can beat the durability of these dodges; They really did build tough trucks! P.S. I discovered the timing mark is set very late, which makes them a little doggy in the acceleration dept. If you set the ignition timing with a vacuum gauge instead, they have a lot more pep. I got the idea from a stock '51 Plymouth a friend once owned, with which he could out maneuver the local police.
