Well, got it started today. Got it last summer from the Arkansas foresty department. It had been a parts truck for there fleet. No major assemblies missing just small stuff.
I've been working on it steadly for the last few weeks between cold spella and rain. Changed the oil and filters last week. Then today installed the glow plug relay and finished hooking up the wires on the firewall, thanks Warthog.
Bleed the fuel ine first. I was worried about water. I had a fuel can but it only took half the can when I fueled it. Let the fuel set in a little bit and didn't see any water. So, I hooked up the filter and bleed it next. Next hooked up everything and tried to start it. After several atempts she ran.
I made my wifes Christmas deadline.![Jumping :jumpin: :jumpin:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/hop.gif)
I feel alot better now. Time to get the small stuff done and get it on the road.
Thanks to the guys here for all the help.
