I think.
this truck was being used by a logger, quit running and was sold to a neighbor over the hill, he tried to start it using some gas in the intake and it blew out a head gasket, he got a set and put a new one in but didn't finish putting the top end together, had it a year and decided to sell it, scrap yard perhaps, but I decided to take it. Last week I got the brake lines fixed and bled them out, they should work if the wheel cylinders don't start leaking. I hope. (don't know how long the 3 brake lines have been torn off) Then yesterday I put the engine back together, just the top hoses, lines, injectors, and a valve cover. And started looking at the fuel system. Found the fuel pump not working, just worn out, took it apart and found the magnetic driven disc shaft was so sloppy it was setting up a shimmy when it tried to run and would quit turning. Will go get one from a friends parts truck and then we'll put a couple batteries in and see if it'll run. I have a portable DC welder I can give it a boost with if needed.
