Another thing with the old girl is, when I was looking at the rebuild tag on the back axle again yesterday I noticed that the convoy light is still in good order and tucked up in the rear cross member.
I brought the truck home last week from the wrecking yard, where I have had it for sale for 10 years without a nibble, as I was going to fit a 4 cylinder Isuzu diesel in it and use it as my yard crane. Then as discussed in my above posts I thought no just pretty it up put markings back on it and use it as a talking point and something for the grandkids to climb over.
So drawing a line in the sand I made the decision that after owning it for 20 years and never having turned the engine over, that if I could turn it over, I would keep going with it and at least get it drivable enough, so that it can go in my ANZAC Day display. I tried it, and it does turn over and even has compression on a couple of cylinders.
I guess next is to see if I starts.
Ken
