The shift tower should have a rubber boot on it to keep rain and water out. The metal piece could be from Pvt Ryan jamming a gear 47 years ago.

Looks ok to me. Until you have “baselined” the oil meaning you know that you have fresh clean moisture free oil in there, don’t worry about the blowby vapor.

If you don’t want a contact maintenance truck, sell it to someone that does and buy a 1008 pickup instead with the proceeds.

This can be water vapor or oil vapor. If you change the oil and it disappears, it is water vapor. If it remains, it is called “blowby” and it’s a sign of piston rings not sealing well. Again, an oil change with some kind of additives like Lucas can help.

There is not a left and right foot intended for the light/medium tow bar. As long as you have your keeper cotter pin/hairpin pin (whatever) in place to keep the pin from falling out you are good to go.

When these were selling at auction they brought $350. Since he kept it inside and it’s not now all rusted out like most are, it is worth north of $1000.

Yes here there everywhere

Correct, the VIN starts with C.

24 volt DC solenoid valve. Easy to match up with an equivalent.

Keep looking, Bo, the stamper guy at AM General, was known to drink a lot and on Mondays he couldn't hit the hammer very hard.

By the front spring perch.

Sometimes the fuel pickup tube inside the tank gets rust pinholes on trucks that sit like yours has.

Ok good. My next efforts would be to make 100% sure there are no hairline cracks in any fuel hoses that could admit air. As fuel demand is increasing the air entrainment get so bad the engine falls on it’s azz.

Well you know how this goes, plug in the DDDL and “pull the codes”.

Do you have DDEC4 engine control?

The Michelin 14.00’s are notorious for blowing out. If I were in your situation, especially if I had a heavy expandovan, I would switch over to Goodyear MVT 395s already mounted on FMTV wheels. Feltz Tire is a good source for these. Two pallets of 3 tires each will run you around $350...

It’s time when they look like that.

Hmm, is the glow plug relay the big metal Ford style? Those do clunk when they close. It should close and open every few seconds but not chatter.

No clue, generator trailers had one piece bows like that but the width would be different. Saw ‘em off and call it good. Tarp should just cover top 2-3” of bed sides.
