Re: Time to fix up Dad's old truck
Finally got some pics.
New water pump installed, rear glass put in, new plugs, and it runs like a champ. Starter is still acting funny. Probably just going to replace it. Obviously needs a cleaning in a BAD way, but only have 3 spots on the whole truck with any rust, and the only one of those that concerns me is the sill on the drivers side....
Odometer is showing 35XXX miles, but the speedo was broken for a year or two, and now the cable goes straight into the tranny (no adapter) so it reads about 20% slow give or take. Actual milage is probably around 50K if I had to guess.
Dad bought this thing new in August of 1983 for around $9K
Now the pics.
