Prior to that he bought the truck with this motor in it. He took out the motor and changed the pistons to 10:1 because gas had been degraded so much it would no longer run on pump gas At the same time he put in new bearings and did a valve job. That was about it. Same cam and all the other goodies it came from the factory with are still in the motor.

One day I was down visiting and I asked him what he was going to do with that truck. I know the history and had even driven the truck a few times years ago.

His answer " I don't know, you want it?" "If you think you can do something with it take it." That was last Nov and in Feb I took the trailer down and he helped me load it up, signed off the title and it is now in WA in my shop.

That is the story and all it cost me was the fuel to drive down and back.

There you go, True Friends Are Priceless, I have a few and I would give the shirt off my back to each one of them.
