1950 Chevy trucks

This from our Nevada correspondent: "As regards the '51 Minnesota Chevy;  yes, they all have that vent above the firewall; my '45 does, too.
After a summer of erratic effort we got our '50 fired up enough to pull out of the mud and get parked just before we left; new gas tank, new fuel and vacuum lines, rudimentary carb cleaning.  Next summer, maybe, we'll finally attach the body to the frame like it should be... ours is a "3100", which means half ton...Jarrod's looks like it has the longer bed, might be the 3/4 ton.
Indestructible, wonderful, simple...great vehicles"--MSM
