Bjorn, thanks for the pic. That looks like the one we just put on. I'll be sure to open the vent.

David, I think I have a line on all of the engine parts that I need. I should know soon. I have a feeling this truck was used as an equipment mover by the Seabees. They have that beefy hitch plate welded on the frame. It's low enough that you could tow a standard equipment trailer with it so they could have been moving a dozer around with it or something. I'd say all of the rust came from running it in and out of the surf. This truck was worked for sure. I think the reason it got sent to the CAN lot and then on to the DRMO was because of rust in the cab and bed.

Preston, it is definitely a big project, but I find this type of project very satisfying. I love to take a truck from the jaws of the crusher and put it back on the road. I am able to do it for a very reasonable price that way too. I cut my teeth on a 1009 CUCV project back in 1995. It just kinda snowballed from there!!
