Thanks for input. I will take the filter and reinstall with oil. I will see if I can get at the oil pump next. Fortunately, I do have an older gentleman "local good ole boy" type mechanic who owns a small shop who I am quite certain prefers these older vehicles. He works on another older truck I have. In fact once I got it started I was planning on driving it down to his shop and having him look at other things that will need worked on. The truck only has 70,000 miles on it. It was a special factory order and then the owner had a frame attached mini motor home type camper on it. Like many campers, it had lots of early use and then sat around. I may just have to have it towed down there and leave this issue to him as well.
thanks.
