Re: 1960 k1001
It has power steering. Mechanical brakes. Putting a running 305 in it, hook up the drive shafts and drive a little around the place to see if it moves and goes into 4X4, etc with no cab or clip on. At least that's plan A for now. T221 has no busted caps and has RTV from some sort of "rebuild". Was operating fine when engine tore down for valve job, then owner became unable to finish. Motor got rained on and would need reamed/boring. If all the drained fluids look OK and it moves with no ugly noises, I will continue. My goal is a nice ORIGINAL, as possible, driver. I don't rebuild engines, I buy runners on the trucks I've done. I've been lucky so far. If I keep the truck I may go the 205, open Knuckle option. Trying to keep from spending too much $$ until I see what condition my condition is in.
