yeah I did run some of the bad gads not smart of me realy, it ran but just not real well. THe other things I did was run a can of sea foam thru the gas as well as in the crankcase. I let it run for a while, today I will let it run some more and then change the oil.
This truck had a stuck valve about a year ago, dad and I discovered it. This stuck valve caused a pushrod to get bent. So we kinda hill billied it took the push rod out straightened it with a hammer
put it back in and fire the truck up. I know this is archeic but at the time we were just seeing if we could get it run to sell it to a friend of mine.
This being said I need to pull the valve cover off and look at it run , and prbabaly put a set of push rods in it. the motor could use rebuilt but at this time I am going to try and run it the way it is.
ALso at this point the plans for the truick are to get it running right stopping right, get some good tires on it get it inspected and drive it as my weekend parts store lumber store vehicle. I also plan on taking the bed off and buildig aflatbed out of channel and either light cher plate, or wood. I think wood will be lighter. So if anyone needs the rements of a 3/4 ton bed keep me in mind.
later
