Just an update. With as much snow as we have gotten, the truck has been on hold as I am supposed to have it outside the work shop at work during business hours. Even though I have ignored the request of getting it back out. But when the cold weather hits, we get more units on trailers and at times need the work space. Have been researching places to buy parts here and there and hopefully be ready for when I pull the axle to clean and repair (weld) the shock mount, reassemble the brakes and lines and of course the wiring. Hopefully be able to reuse the old dash componets. Makes me nervous getting that far into the truck, but it always makes me finish what I have started. Talking to my boss about the truck, he said that I am known not to leave anything half assed. Especially my jobs too, lol.
I have decided to start doing what I mentioned above and hoping the engine is a good runner, even though it ran for few seconds. Unsure where to start on the truck as I just am going to work it a little at a time and at least have a daily driver to and from work which is a short mile away and a small town. I can at least have fun driving it.
Need to find a radiator (stock), tires and seat covers. Might just use duct tape and a blanket for now till I decide on colors.
