Thanks for looking! Please ask questions, I will write back quickly and answer as best I can.Someone asked what "still a project" means to me... here goes...Other than new wiring, this truck is almost all original from what I can tell. The gauge cluster is out of a power wagon. All of the gauges work, but a couple are either out of adjustment or there's something else going on. The temp gauge seems like it reads hot... runs a little over 2/3 after driving around for a while. But if you take the block temp with a laser thermometer, it reads right in the correct zone according to the manual. The oil pressure reads somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 under normal driving. It drops to about 1/4 on the gauge under heavy load up hill... but maybe that's normal for this old truck. The engine never hesitates and all sounds good. Just things that might want to get checked out. The door windows both roll up and down fine, but the window channels are missing ... so they rattle. The cab heater isn't wired up. The fresh air intake to that heater core is missing, so I didn't see a point fixing the heater electrical. The tires are old.. like 30 years old. They hold air, but I personally wouldn't drive a long distance on them. The horn button on the steering wheel is missing and the horn itself needs new wiring. A previous owner added a toggle switch for the horn and it works sometimes. When it does, it sounds awesome! So I guess, just little things here and there... depends what you want to do with it.
