With everything that is going on, I haven't gotten much done on the truck. I did manage to go to Winslow's a couple of weeks ago to scavenge some parts off of a M925A2 parts truck. It had a lot of the important goodies that I needed to get my truck running. My brother, Chad, lent a well needed hand on another blustery winter day. We got the injection pump, the IP drive gear/nut/washer, the fuel inlet line, the AFC line, the intake boot clamp, the harmonic dampener, the gear case cover, the alternator, the tranny pan, the stop solenoid bracket, the radiator/hoses, the PS ram shield, and a few other bits. I almost had the engine oil pan loose, but two of the bolts in the front lip were seized up and the heads rounded off. Argg!! I'll have to go back armed with some reverse drill bits, rounded-bolt sockets, etc....

I dropped the alternator off at the shop this afternoon when I got got back in town from DC. I hope it's OK. It was pretty rusty from sitting for so long, but with a little effort I got it spinning freely.

I am not sure when I will be able to go back. Maybe in a few more weeks. It doesn't look like I will be making it to Aberdeen this year so I am not sure when the truck's maiden voyage will be.

Here's a few pics of the parts truck to keep you guys entertained!
