Some good suggestons from these guys Andrew. I kinda lean toward what Jolly says. Not everybody who loves old trucks/cars/tractors/motorcycles is good at the mechanical work. It's a smart man who knows his limitations and works around them. To find an old school mechanic I'd suggest you talk with the guys at your local wrecking yards, auto parts stores, and machine shops. Also joining one of the local car or old machinery clubs will put you in touch with the kinds of guys you're looking for. I found a great machinst to do some of the impossible work on my old tractor motors of the 20's and 30's. I was standing in the hot dog line at our local swap meet and started talking to the guy in front of me who happpened to be a Model A Ford collector. He turned me onto this machinist. Just keep enjoying that ol' truck!!
