TW: meaningless vintage car/truck drivel.

While I wait on the 4th tire to get fitted onto the amazingly annoying rims for this thing, figured I'd share a bit about the truck.

1925 IHC Model S Speed Truck. All original other than the wooden bed (which has been rebuilt with mostly original hardware). I've spent the better part of the past year and a half fixing it up. Originally with the help of an amazing mechanic, then on my own.

About the only thing not currently working on it (other than the tires) is the generator (yes, generator, not alternator). The generator works, but too well -- puts out about 8V (on a 6V system) and 10-15A with the third brush dialed as far back as it'll go. That's enough to boil the battery...which is directly under the driver's seat. No bueno, so I disconnected it.
