LOL. Thanks everyone for the welcome. Man, I love the old square bodies. Great machines.
But.......getting ready to spend some on rebuilding an engine for it. Last one went about 11 years. Dropped an exhaust valve on #8. Broke the block, hole in the piston, beat the head to death and bent the connecting rod. This time I believe a main bearing twisted. still runs, but very sick.
Can't complain. She's been hauling a heavy load since day one. GVW is 6400#. Last time it crossed a scale at 8600#.
