'62 1ton dually
Finally! I made it back home and went & played with my truck today. Yes, I got pics.
The bad: Didn't get the 305 running. #2 has some rust that won't let go. Now soaking. The water pump is toast. It leaks out weep hole & shaft wobbles. Need to put kit in the Holley 2 barrel. The wiring is hacked! Lots of shorts due to bad taps. Windshield is cracked all over. Lots of other little things.
The good: Has 14 bolt rear, gears unknown. Has 16" rims, so tires should be cheap. Cleaned up wiring enough so it should run without burning. Brake master had fluid and brake & clutch feel OK. Looks like water got in carb, not head gasket or crack block. Still no buyer remorse! And dog got to run around on a farm all day.
