Re: Followed me home
A few updates..
I rebuilt the carb, pulled the heater out and capped the head ports, killed all the vac lines, pulled all of the 6V wiring from the cab forward ( this cleaned the engine bay and cab up greatly ), and installed all of 12V engine electrical pieces.
Still waiting on the starter to be rebuilt. This week I will wire all of the 12V engine stuff, the IGN switch, install some MECH guages, and relocated my the 12V red top battery back to the stock location ( under the cab ).
Once I get the starter back, I will gravity feed the carb and try to fire this PIG. If she fires, and I can get it running decent, I will need a new fuel pump, and then on to brakes. After that we get to see if the trans and clutch survived it's 20 year nap.

Re: Followed me home
Plans are to get it running in stock form.. Drive it, park it in front of the neighbors house for a while, and maybe sell it for a few grand. I just like tinker with old iron..
