What have you done to your square lately??

[Truck82]

I drove the truck for the first time since getting it from Redding CA 2 1/2 years ago. Fixed a leaking pinion seal, torqued all the new suspension components, lug nuts, checked air pressures, pressure tested the tank and vent system for emissions before taking it out on its maiden voyage. Forgot to plug the speedometer cable back in so it set a CEL, corrected that, took it for another spin. All and all, it doesn't run too bad, transmission hits all 4 gears and lock up, can't ask for much more. Still have a ton to do but I know it will drive now. Put about 20 miles on it.

This is the original thread where I bought it:

Need honest quote for this truck, not a I know what I have?

I have access to buying a new project, but I'm not going to! Family friend she is 83 years old, her husband passed in 2009. She has no idea how much this truck is worth. It was start disabled in 2007 (distributer wires disconnected) and hasn't moved from this spot because he tried to drive it in...

Good job Mike! Just adding the wheels and tires is a 1000% improvement.

I like the fact it's not restored..I walked around Dino's yesterday and there just wasn't anything like it. It's far from perfect but it's honest. It can still be a truck, I can still haul or tow stuff and not freak out. I will post pics once I get the interior back together.

It's a really good thing I didn't have a set budget for this.

How is your neighbor doing?
