1948 Power Wagon and 1942 WC53 Carryall. The Carryall is still not quite done; I need to paint it with one more coat to even up the colors, then install the windows, but it is fully operational right now. Flathead six and 5.83 gears!

How do you choose what to drive?!!!
Eric
Sometimes it's a simple as which one has gas in it. Sometimes it's weather driven. Sometimes it's haven't driven that one for a minute. My favorite days are when I have multiple errands in multiple directions. Run one or two, swap rides while passing by the house.

I’m in Washington State, barely… in the mountains a couple miles from the Idaho state line, my zip code is Newport Wa, but I am 23 miles from there.

That is some collection there. I'm jealous. Do you keep them mostly stock?
No, they look stock but aren’t. The Power Wagon body is stock but it has a 360 V8, power steering and front disc brakes, original axles with 4.89 gears.

The Carryall has a stock drive train and axles, but I have some 4.89 gears for it and a synchro NP435 trans that I’m going to eventually install. The body has been modified with the addition of a steel roof; the originals had a large canvas section, and I eliminated the external battery box on the right side. The battery box area was rusted out badly and I rebuilt the area without it. All new 16 gauge steel.

Here is a link to my Carryall build album (warning lots of pics): WC 53 Carryall

I have seen most of that thread before. Your son has some great skills, Could I borrow him for the summer? 🤣

You are directly north of my daughters family. She's down in the Lake Fenwick area. (I'm over on the west side 30 mins south of Oly)

Nope. ;D
He's working on my car at at the moment... My Daytona clone project...

I need to figure out what's going on with my old stroker he has in his '41.
It sounds like a broken rocker... or a flattened cam lobe.
