I realized the original gas tank was causing the problem so I hooked the fuel line up to an auxillary tank and it starts right up ! I got to drive it around the yard then across to the little dirt path along the farm fields. I got it going good enough to get to third and fourth gear and it steered and handled great. The gears are grinding a bit when I shift but other than that it did great ! All I need is brake work and it's ready for some work around here. Driving that big flat-bed 3 ton for really the first time was like incredible !!
incredible !!

All it needs is a tune-up, some brake work and a new tank and I'm putting it to work !! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 | I'm happy for you getting your truck mobile, I'm hoping to have my GMC 450 road worthy this year.
