That is where I am leaning myself. I can obsess all day long about this, or I can go start turning wrenches and having fun with it. I originally bought the truck as sort of a starter that I could take apart and learn so when I had the money to land the truck of my dreams I would know what to look for. But who knows, maybe this one will be the first and last one I own.
However, I am sucker for detail so if anyone knows anything about the typical process for a replacement engine job, please let me know. Any details that I can use to enrich the story behind this truck I am all ears!
I have included a picture of the old rust bucket. Next step is to rent a engine hoist and pull the power plant out for inspection.
I am out in Alberta now. The truck came from a guy here, but I can't find any record of registration anywhere.
