So the radiator still has all the water I poured in, none in the oil pan, so two days ago I put in the oil. No leakage, so things seem good. I ran the oil pump with my 1/2" electric drill, and had oil coming out of all of the rockers. Think I'm good to go once I finish with minor stuff. Still need to get something hooked up for the accelerator. With nothing but an engine on a frame there's no place to attach stuff. And I need to get enough wiring done to start, run, and have gauges to look at.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
