Thanks for the welcome guys.
Her status... I put a new battery in. Still 6 volt. I cut the fuel line so I wouldn't suck any of the old fuel into the system. It cranked, but the wires got crazy hot. Obviously a short. So I spent the day yesterday doing some rewiring. There was a lot of electrical tape and tons of wiring sins. It went well and she spins over nicely. Unfortunately she didn't fire. The coil tested good and I tried filing the points. I decided to just buy replacements so I know what I'm starting with.
This probably isn't going to be a full resto. I do know that I'm making it road worthy so I can use it. I'll fluff her up a little and probably paint it at some point. I'll be going through all the hydraulic system seals, the PTO, tranny and rear end etc.
The truck is all in visually good condition and complete, but it's like she's been packed in cosmoline with all the grease and oil protecting the underside.
She needs brakes and tires. I think I'm going to try for wheels too. The ones that are on it seem to be a little rough. I've been researching that. What I've found is that the dually wheels are 10 on 7.25" with a 4.75" hub and they're hub centric. Apparently newer 10 bolt wheels are 5.25" so I might go with that and bushings.
If any of my info is off, please correct me. I'd appreciate it!
