It’s alive!!!!!! Purrs like a kitten. No leaks. fender heater works like a charm. Charges, holding oil pressure between 40-60 psi Coolant circulating good. Clutch is solid. Drives forward and back. Success for the first week. I’m having trouble getting the video to load up. As soon as I can figure it out I’ll show ya proof!

Heres a few shots of the truck. Ive started to do some rust repair on the tool bed. Ill take those pics as soon as I can and post. The interior needs some love but is relatively intact. Lights all work. Need to find all Blackout lights.. Anybody have a set taking up space youd like to sell??...... Uncovered serial number on frame........ Winch was tore in half, How much $$ am I potentially looking at to get it back to tuggin again?? makin progress.

Here’s a shot of the LU 4 winch before bottom repairs. And after. Really dirty aluminum case was tricky to TIG up w all the oils in pores but I have solid penetration. Now there’s a solid lug to use. Need to get the middle bore bushing out then rebuild the shoulder inside.

I would have flipped if you said “JB Weld it & send it”! People who said crap like that should be throat punched.

Skills. Hard to get, but really rewarding when you use them!
