It is heavily modified, to say the least. The frame has been cut and shortened, as the truck is set up as a log skidder. I imagine they shortened the wheel-base to get the truck up the narrow logging roads up here. The winch frame looks home built to meet their logging needs.
I pulled the transmission cover - and as warned, it is full of rust, and empty on fluids. The rust looks manageable, but I assume the case is shot, which means a new tranny, I assume. Do you know where to get one?
The good news is that the motor looks better every time I look at it. Pulled the distributor cap today, and it is pristine inside. So, we'll see how far the wife lets me go with this one. it would be fun to get it running down the road.
