Sad to see the truck in such shape. One question that I have regarding older trucks in general is I noticed that there seem to be spray paint dots around the tire walls. I've seen this quite a bit and have never known what they were there for. Can anyone shed some light on this for us younger guys?

We used to paint the diamonds and leattering on the side walls white, just for show, if this is what you meant???

Yes thats exactly it. I wasn't sure what it was for, I've seen it quite a bit wasn't sure if it was just for show or they actually served a purpose. Thank you.

We used it for alittle more show when there wasn't much chrome. It actually looked very nice, we used to paint the tires black too, that product most likely is a toxic substance today.

Mark, I am sure Jan would let me park it here. " NOT" but in the yard someplace. The lack of chrome is a good thing, when it comes to restoring. Most engine parts you will find at Prudents Auto parts, the electric is easy to redo and the rest is sanding and painting,

I have some extra lights and and wire for the siren. The seats and cab liner a guys down the road from me restores cars and can do it,

The brakes and tires will be the hardest, believe me. Al has this stuff what will loosen anything up

We are here to help and will have a place for you to display it

[fdny2817 6]

I forgot to ask hows the glass, and we could get some stuff off of the old 226. Plus I like the bumper better red, as for your blue, you could paint all your hand tools ( Giants Blue ) heeee

Iam here for you brother

[markmets415 524]

Sad to say guys I have called several times, different times, different days, no luck. I did speak to the guys dad the other day as well as the day we went there and he said he would pass it to his son. I guess the owner isn't interested it moving it.
