Just came across this beauty on ebay a few week's back.... Cummins V8 300 gov. rebuild 1989....put a wrench on it and it rolled over with no hesitation, thinking of putting it in the M125-A1 when I finally get off my butt and get working on it again!!

Nice project. Great skill. Excellent find.

As an aside, I think Dirt 71 must be getting paid to add superfluous apostrophes or he is torture testing his keyboard's apostrophe key. He's been going for years adding apostrophes to virtually every plural word he types...I don't get it, unless one or both of the above scenarios. On the other hand, I don't have the skill or experience to do the restoration he's doing; I guess we all have our thing.

Very impressive work. Are you in the truck auto industry for your primary job? Did you grow up doing this stuff? From where did the expertise derive that allows you to work your way through a frame-up restoration/rebuild? When/if you complete this thing ajd if you keep it close to true to the original, it will be likely the finest example of this truck in existence; a museum piece.
