Truck was picked up today, was told about 2 months, so I figure I will get back 3 to 4 months.

@Nyboy, do you have visitation rights or do you have to wait for the final reveal like we do?

talked with my dad yesterday during our cookout and happen to mention your project truck to him. dad was all interested since he used to own a '55 Dodge truck just before i was born. guess he used his for hauling wood when he would go out and cut some from a friend's property back in the mid 70's. i didn't think to ask him if it was the C-3 or one of their other models from the same year. he mentioned something i thought odd and you might know if your truck would have this same setup. he said he kept 2 different sized batteries in it. sounded like he used a 12 volt to turn the engine over and another to run the lights and any accessories.
