Hey everyone- I wanted to let y’all know, I towed the truck to a reputable local shop that specializes in older vehicles, and restorations. I told them the whole story, and the owner had a hunch. He pulled the valve covers and we found bent push rods, some disconnected. Only one cylinder with a straight rod and compression.
It appears that when I got the truck running, and drove it for a couple days, I stirred up the separated gas sediment in the bottom of the tank, which acted like glue and locked things up. That was last September, and I’ve been chasing my tail since then. Huge thanks to Bartamos for going above and beyond to help me, and thanks to all of you for help and insights. The truck will be fixed, and I will continue to learn. Thanks y’all- Jimmy
