WOW! Yeah. I'm not brave enough to attempt a pull that far eith just a pickup truck.
Although....
... my friends in Montana retrieved the 2 trucks and towed them out to my one friend's ranch, about 6 miles away, using a 3/4 ton Dodge pickup! They did have a second driver in the towed vehicle...
I'm from Fairfield originally. That's where the trucks are parked currently.
I've driven through Martin City plenty of times. I love that part of the state!

SouthDave: You're right, it is missing the CDR valve, but I believe...
I got the #1 engine started up. It runs nice and smooth and it has only minimal blowby. I rigged up a glow plug harness. I dont have any 12v glowplugs, so I used my jumper cables to put my two batteries in series to get the glowplugs hot, then I had to hurry and switch them back to parallel...
