Folks -

We're "fixin to" to get out of here at first light on Tuesday to go pick up a 47 5 window 1/2 ton... I had queried earlier on the forum about towing with a dolly; we've decided to tow with a trailer and a friend's new 3/4 ton - so it will be a much less stressful trip, we're hoping.

Anyway, I'm assembling my tools and things for checking the truck out. I already know that it isn't getting fuel, but don't know if it's a clogged line or the pump - I want to take some replacement fuel hose with me so I can bypass the gas tank.

Can any of you tell me what size fuel line comes out of the pump? I want to buy some line before I go.

Also... Can any of you tell me what a decent compression gauge reading for this one would be? I am pretty sure it has a 235, rather than a 216, but have no idea what year it might be as yet.

Like Ross Perot, "I'm all ear" if any of you have additional suggestions for checking this truck out.

Thanks in advance....

John
