    same here, bud thanks for all your input. It worked for me too. Nothing else embarrassing. This thing has been sitting here. So long but then again, none of us are 20 years old well one of us is now but we all have to squeeze these things in between everything else. When we’re very young, we really don’t have anything to do but work and play with your car. You are still an amazing inspiration for all of us thank you…. Bob

    If you have not moved the engine, be sure to pull out all the spark plugs and shoot a bunch of mystery oil into the cylinders before you do anything and leave it. Sit for a week or so I believe ignition parts are still available from what I hear, good luck.

    We all hate to see any of them sitting buried in trees like that. I’m sure there is at least a lot of parts on that thing somebody could use. but by now the floors are probably all done. Who knows

    My god that cab looks like it doesn’t need anything but primer and paint that’s 90% of your issues. Usually you got it whooped bud. A lot of us pretty much have to rebuild the bottom of any cab And doors wow

    I was gonna mention the same thing you might find that it’s not very hard to steer at all. I’ve driven many big rigs, full-size manual, steering that weren’t very hard to steer at all. Mack’s whites As he says, it’s going to be a big headache to install one and you probably really don’t even need it

    Sure looks like a lot there to work with your shop looks huge
