Well I have not been on in a while.....life issues.......so to make myself feel better I got me a new toy. 1970 M151A2 and M416 trailer. The M151 has not been cut. Last ran around 1993 or sometime there after. The only rust is the front of the floor pans and front cross member. Not very bad...

OK I swaped fuel lines and bypassed the FDC. 50% better but still 50% from whaer it should be. Added about 20 gallons of high dollar diesel. Drove to town and back. Had to really watch it. EGT's would hit 13,000 really quick. Got home and let it idle for about 10 minutes and EGT's was...
