thanks for all the help so far! Yes it is a rather long bed, it also has a strange tilt system with the cylinders located behind the rear wheels instead of up front. It also has a large winch built into the headache rack that uses the stroke of 4 big cylinders to pull the cable up. For not being a heavy duty, it sure has a healthy stack of leaf springs! I would guess the vacuum lines for the rearend are cracked and leak from the truck sitting. The motor is free, just needs a little tinkering. I hope to have it home and running over the holidays. Can anyone tell me from the picture if the rims are split rims or not? Can one pass a DOT inspection with split rims anymore?
