Very, very nice! I like the small touches all round like the breather caps and the Lark steering wheel. I even love the colour! One thing I see though, that you should see to. The return spring for your throttle is missing. You might want to see to that. Our Annie Goodman can tell you how disastrous that missing piece can be.
Congrats on a wonderful truck. May you have many happy miles and smiles with him.Home of the famous Mr. Ed!

Nick, I was told it's factory auto(one day I'll do the build sheet thing) though it does have the short tailshaft 1st gear start! I bought this Champ from Steve Blake / arkiejazz of Amarillo, TX. about 5 years ago.and for the past year or so we worked on the new engine swap(NOW WITH MORE POWER) JUST NEED TO PUT SOME MILES ON IT NOW!Joseph R.
