The old beast started, couldn’t believe it. No brakes and the inside looked like a war of the rats just took place. Once we got it home and it was sitting outside the home, all I could think was what the hell did I just buy.
My original thought was to get her running use it as just an old farm truck to haul hay around. Have some fun in it. Ya right.
After a week or so got the brakes working, was running ok, all 90hp pushing out of the inline 6. so I just cleaned up what I could without really getting into major repairs. Sweet I thought this is going to be fun.
After a week of just driving around the neighborhood the water pump goes out. Hum so off to the auto parts store and omg. They got one. First try. Then the next week was parts and things breaking and not finding the parts needed. so there she sat as I sanded and decided to work on the body parts.
