  1. Job well done!!
  2. That looks like a real honest truck! Nice and straight, Keep us updated on your progress and post plenty of photos.
  3. I used 80w-90 in the trans and rears of my R model.
  4. That looks really good! Nice and clean.
  5. Looking Great! Thanks for the posting the photos and videos.
  6. It will be a nice setup once you get it installed!
  7. I thought the 315hp was still a Thermodyne?
  8. Just found this thread. Keep up the the good work! I imagine you plan to run this box behind the new motor?
  9. I don't think there is anything in particular that you should look for with these trucks. They are simple reliable old machines the will last many years with even a little care. Now with that being said here are some things I would look for. Frame cracks/welds and rust jacking if double framed. Trunion condition. Make sure this is in good shape. Cab floor rust under mat and upper sill on roof. Interior dash condition as they crack with age. Headliner, Original plastic ones crack around screws. Check wiring for cobble jobs and splices. If you see wire nuts used just walk away! Drain air tank and make sure its not full of oil indicating a bad compressor. Engine for oil or fuel leaks, check oil pressure and blow by. Check date on engine serial tag and confirm it matches year of truck helping to indicate original motor or not. Driveshaft U joints, Check for tightness. Radiator condition, Look for excessive corrosion or damaged fins. This will get you started, Good luck!
  10. New steers installed. A couple photos hauling beans this week.
  11. It has the 2F 6cyl gas engine.
  12. The Toyota is an original paint survivor that I purchased about a dozen years ago. It mostly just sits in the shed but I manage to drive it a couple times a year. Here is a photo from a few years back having a little fun putting it to work!
