Here's the story: I got two dump trucks-a 1951 ford 1 ton and a 1955 chevy 2 ton. I was left these machines along with some others as part of my inheritance when my dad died. They have been sitting in NY state for about 5 years-my dad was the last one who messed with them-they were his babies-he loved big toys! Well last night I had a friend go up there and try to get them going-with a little prime, and new gas the ford fired right up-ran smooth, hydrolics worked perfectly to lower the dump, etc. I'm very excited about this-people said I was wasting my time and money messing with them, I'm glad I didn't listen to them! I'll soon have a little piece of history and a big part of my dad with me. Thought I'd share this with others that might be in a similar situation-don't give up and if you feel it is right in your heart-do it you won't regret it.
