Just posting a few photos of my project. Short story is that I found a 1930 that had been parked for 50 years and came out of a mine in Colorado. I found the engine tight, but got it loose easily and had compression. Looks to me like someone re-built the engine and never fired it off. Been working on the truck for a few years and finally making some progress!

Trevor, got the rims made in Australia. vintagerimsaus.com
Was skeptical, and the guy must be real busy for he didn't communicate quickly, but he made them very reasonable! Shipped to my door in Arizona for around $200 each! Looked for some for years and no one in the U.S. would build them. Very pleased with his work.
