Pick-up Day and Inspection

The day I picked him up and took him to his new home. (Wife insists it is a he not a she)


I got it home and began inspecting the condition and cataloging parts.  I found a good bit of rust (not a surprise) and some areas that previous owners tried to fix rust.  I also found that the motor was locked up. The first thing that I did was to reattach the doors as the truck will be stored outside for now until I build a new garage or I am able to free up some space in the ones i currently have.  I wanted to keep water from coming in thru the window opening even tho the floor is gone.  I also put some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders to try to free up the motor.  The motor will be torn down and gone thru but i wanted to be able to spin it by hand before the tear down if possible.


Doors on and secured.  They still need aligned and latches need cleaned/lubricated but they will be coming back off later so no need to be perfect now
