I recently did a cool trade with @SemoLCruiser with my 71 FST and ended up with this pimpin' wagon. With 1 already and more children in our future, the 60 seems like a less selfish way for me to satisfy my hobby to piddle with old things.
I have no idea the last time this truck ran. The PPO had the air pump lock up on him so he parked it. It'll likely get de-smogged here soon. A sniper may be in the works, but not sure I can justify that premium expense on this turd.
Anyhow, with some pseudo mentoring from @Tennessee80 about frugality when it comes to assembling a truck to enjoy, I'm off to the races with high value and low budget in mind.
I got the plywood window out, replacement window in, and engine bay degreased and cleaned up today as well as drained the fuel tank. That gas identified as round-up for my gravel driveway.
Put fuel to the carb and cranked on it. No start and fuel coming out of the carb. I'll dig in more tomorrow.
I've got suspension lined up and would like some 33's or 35's in a narrower variety. I'm waiting to find the Kanati Mud Hog's in their 35 10 15, but they are seemingly unobtanium.
Here are some pictures. I largely started this thread to keep track of the progress here for myself as well as try to make some content for the great community here that I've been freeloading off of for years now.
Cheers
