The Examination

Once it was home it got a good bath and than it was in the garage to see exactly where it was at. It was laid down on the drivers side years ago. My Uncles, Freddy and Bailey, had started repairs, but unfortunately it never made it back on the road. While the Body was good, the truck had definitely been used and had seen better days. My initial plan was to get it running and go from there. As I dug deeper and deeper I learned more about the truck.

This guy had seen construction sites, it was used to haul lumber, produce, and anything else that was thrown at it. I realized I needed a better look at the engine compartment so that front clip had to go.
The rings were shot on the motor and it had already been bored out to .060" I knew at this point I wanted to rebuild her the right way, I just wasn't sure what way that was. So I started looking for an engine and figured I would go from there.
