That looks great! 
Is there anywhere that makes mirrors like the ones on that truck?

Thanks For The Comments. I Don't Know If Anyone Still Makes That Style Of Mirror. Unfortunately, These Don't Have Glass In Either One. The Old Man Who Was The Original Owner Liked To Drink At A Local Bar & Had Trouble Navigating Into His Garage. That's The Story I Got From His Son Anyway.

Looks good! Can I ask what the kicks in the fuel and vac advance line are for? Never seen them done that way before.

Are you keeping it with the generator or swapping it out for a Autolite alternator?

Re: "Engine Rebuild On Connie's Truck Pic's"
Thanks Leroy, It's My Understanding That It Prevents The Fuel From Getting Too Hot And Causing Vapor-Lock. Farmers Would Clip Wooden Clothes-Pins On The Fuel Lines & Wrap Them In Aluminum Foil Also As A Preventative Measure Against This As Well.Leeroy wrote:Looks good!

Very, very nice. Great to see a re-built 223. Correct colors also. That do make it nice.

Re: "Engine Rebuild On Connie's Truck Pic's"
The 'U' bend in the tubing is common in any type of rigid tubing near a connection. In this case, the bend will allow some extension/compression or flex in the line when attaching and detaching the threaded connection at the carb. Such 'U' bends or even loops are common in rigid brake line tubing as well near their threaded connections. Just be careful not to kink or pinch off the line that could/would cause a restriction in line flow.Leeroy wrote:Looks good! Can I ask what the kicks in the fuel and vac advance line are for?

BEAUTIFUL ENGINE!
