That one looks like one that was for same down in the Tidewater area? Congratulations on getting a truck!
The truck is in great shape and the fuel tank is real clean.
Sorry for the delay. Been a few weeks of sanding and painting. The M756 is White is no more, she is OD Green again! Still a lot of work to do but it's getting there
I put some air tool oil in the piston area, but will also try the inlet.
