Default 62 GMC build

Here are some pics of my 62 that I finally got home.

It was sitting for 7 years.

I originally thought a barrel nut fell into the engine and it was parked. It was going to need engine work so I bought two parts motors.

I later found out it was a piece of all-thread and it was too long to fall completely into a cylinder. It was making a bunch of noise (probably holding an intake valve open) so he parked it.
..after making a deal and paying him for a not running truck he called to tell me he got it to start.
Even though I had it towed home we had it running and driving at his house! He jokingly told me the price goes up for a running truck. I jokingly reminded him that I already paid him and transferred the title so he must be wanting to buy it back for more than he sold it for.

I waxed the right side of the hood just to see if it would clean up. Not too bad but I need to get some better stuff than the dried up old Turtle Wax® that I had laying around.
