Welcome from Northern Ohio! Looks like you have a pretty good truck. A bit of tlc and you'll be on the road. As long as you keep up the maintenance the single circuit brakes are good. Parts are widely available for these trucks.

Sure looks like a good way to pass the time.

Welcome from Northern Ohio! Very nice clean truck you have there. My best to you on getting it running.

I have that wrench also! It works great!

Welcome from Northern Ohio! Truck looks to be in nice shape. Drop side bed too. Good luck on the purchase!

So I went out to the barn this morning to get a few things done, and found this in my tire. I tried pulling it out but started to hear a hissing, so I left it in. Well I got the tire off and took it to my tire guy. I really need to get some tire dismounting tools.

I'd be putting more than a bar or 2 to protect that radiator. They are delicate and expensive!

Welcome from Northern Ohio. That's a nice truck you have there.

Cut it open and save it to lie/sit on the next time you change oil and grease your machine. It catches those sometimes nasty spills too!

If the wind isn't too bad, you can throw down some drop cloths or old towels to catch anything that falls. That way they don't get lost in the grass or gravel.

I attached the window frame to the opener’s first. That way it wasn’t going to go anywhere. Then I attached the piano hinge on top.

Don't fret too much. They're pretty easy to remove and install. I did mine myself, just took my time. You'll do great!

I went to start up the truck today and the batteries were a bit tired. Maybe got half a revolution out of them. I can't complain, they were every bit of 10 years old. So they got replaced with new group 31 batteries.

When I'm downshifting up a hill, my eyes are on the pyrometer. Anything close to 1100 degrees warrants a downshift. Last thing anyone wants to do is lose a motor. But how your truck handled on the hills to me seems about on par. 10k is the end of the chart for this truck.

Glad to help!

That area behind the dent should be all open. You may be able to push out the dent by hand.

So getting in and out of my truck, my leg sometimes bumps the parking brake and releases it. Not good when you park on a slight incline/decline. Makes for an OH **** moment. So I fabricated a parking brake lock out of some 2 inch 11 gauge (1/8") angle iron. Also makes an extra theft deterrent.

Thank you!

They dropped a '87 engine in my truck at some point. Still have the single circuit brakes.
