Found this in a pasture , it is an old army truck from grand forks air force base , Has no motor or tranny , was originally a 350 350 turbo truck with power brakes, shes pretty rough but I have a 454 laying around and a TH 400 that both need rebuilding, it will keep me out of trouble for a while . I went to wall mart and flat blacked over the rust and let it set over winter, but now shes getting over 40 degrees so I supose I will dig into it , Found it laying on the ground, she will need a lot of work but I am going to get a ride out of it this summer sometime. Not looking forward to the wiring woes, Who make a new harness from the cab forward ?
