Amazing what some love,fresh gas, and a spark will do..

Hauled home my prize and am fixing her up. I think the PA mice work for Goodyear and are craping out O rings in a factory! Because every piece of rubber on it was chewed on or chewed off.. Changed the oil in the Wisconsin motor, hooked it to my boat tank,, crank crank crank she purrrrred like a kitten.. Puts off some good power too! Hooked up three high wattage lights and she barely grunted. Now what to do with it? Hmmm.. Not a fan of the style truck this the box is on but if she proves to not have to many seriouse issues she just might get restored.. If not maybe set the box on a M101 trailer frame and sell the truck to a farmer down the road or wait for scrap prices to go up?... I love it when a plan comes together!

Great score, not only was the generator/welder in the truck for you, but the generator works!!! Now you need to weld something

 

[citizensoldier]

rigging up a ground and feed as we speak.. I shall weld with it soon!

Hmm, I wondered who beat me on that one! Sorry..... At least you were lucky , I was feeling cheap that day!

 

[citizensoldier]

Give me a PM on your cheap days so I can bid on stuff out your way doghead! The 318 runs like a champ too.. I replaced all the hoses today on it and she fired right up.. What a simple set up on these trucks.. Now for some brake action and tires..

 

[doghead]

Glad it was a good one!

 

[citizensoldier]

Ok dumb question time.. On the 318 fuel pump which is the in and which is the out ? Front or back ?

How many vehicles do you lose a year, due to falling trees? I like it, (your place) Wayne

the one in back is the inlet from the tank, The one in the front is the outlet that goes to the carb...

I now have a welder for mine but need to gather some missing parts before it will have a chance to run. As you contemplated with yours, I'm pulling the SECM body off mine and putting it on the M116A3 frame but not before converting it to an -A2 trailer. I'm buying the M1008 from Wayne and the main intention was to put the body on the 08 but I think the trailer will serve me fine and the 08 can do duty as a pickup truck. Good deal on that one Lane, about how much did it set you back? My Dodge is headed out to pasture real soon.
