Project Quarantine

[Racer2172]

Well figured time for a build thread on this truck that I have had for six years. Actually spotted it back in 2011 sitting in a backyard as I drove by it on my way to work. I always looked to see if it was still there and it was for the next two and half years. Well one day my roommate comes home and is like hey I saw an old truck for sale, well once he told me the location I knew exactly what truck it was. We jumped in the truck and went to talk to the owners and some brief back and forth with the owner. $600 bucks later it was mine. Went home grabbed the ol 70C30 tow truck and brought it home. Well as it happens to a lot of us life gets in the way of plans and projects. So after moving this truck around from Nevada to Washington, then back to Nevada I finally brought it home to where I live now in Arizona this January. Suprisingly after a new fuel pump and a temporary fuel tank system I was able to drive it for the first time since owning it this last Sunday. Brakes wor enough to safely move it around the neighborhood and all it runs well enough to. Of course lots of little things to fix to make it road worthy, which aside from cleaning that is the current approach to keep it driveable and fix things as we go. My Daughter has taken an interest in and has already put in some time getting it cleaned up. So here we go a project to stay busy during quarantine.
