Looks amazing! thanks for the update. I feel it is getting close!

[Monk]

Jesus, that's a big job.

Ita going to be sweet, lots of new stuff I see...

[Roy]

First time in 2 months she has her shoes back on.Outside for a quick rinse of pine needles and years of dust.
Alive but not running on Sunday night.

Monday...cough cough, started but ran out of fuel...
 
 

[Injunfarian]

YAY, glad to hear you had her started even though it coughed a bit. I cannot wait to be back behind the wheel of it.

[Monk]

LOL, funny part is I think I like it Dusty gives it a mean look

[Injunfarian]

It even had some moss on it... once I get it back hoping to give it a thorough cleaning and see what I can do about cleaning up that clear coat a bit to make it shine somewhat but it does have a lot of trail rash on both sides that will need to be addressed down the road.

[Roy]

Well she runs...and moves, Time to put the interior back together and get an e test.
Let the motor run for a bit , then replaced some worn out parts..Some of the belt had glued itself to the pulley 
as well as the bearing being shot on the idler. 
Not sure if I want to tackle the glow plugs.. playing this safe for now...8+ years without being re lubed..hmmmm

Getting very close now.

Next job is to tackle the stack to make sure there will be good cooling..lots of pine debris all over the rads.
Safety is ready, soon the e test

[Monk]

Out of curiosity how long did that truck sit before it was restored haha



Really nice to see the procedure of the rebuild
