Well I hauled home my new project on the weekend and started going through it tonight. It was last fired up in the spring or summer some time and had old farm summer fuel in it, little bit of playing around and with it being warm here for winter around -10 it fired right up. Sounds good running, and the clutch works good, no grinding in gears I was relieved everything was working. Now this isn't going to be a fast build, limited budget spread between two IDI builds/ford mustang build/ford meteor restoration&antique tractor restoration and even more limited on time due to same projects and the 3 trucks and one car my fiancé is building/restoring. But I will keep an up to date post on this build and try to get pictures of all the little things fixed.
The good: runs smooth, transmission & transfer case aren't leaking, no leaks on the diffs, glass is in decent shape, glow plugs work
The bad: major rust issues on cab and box, horrid hacked up "stack" that needs to be changed, motor has minor oil pan leak, glow plug controller apparently would random stop working, interior needs to be redone, no tailgate, and a lot of wiring needs to be redone, no grill
The end plan: body work to start once the snow melts sometime mid to late April, painted army green once body work is finished with everything else blacked out, 4" lift, 35-38" mud tires, new interior, building heavy built homemade bumpers, pull motor and build haven't decided if this one will get a turbo or see how far I can push the N/A, rewire entire truck, solid axel swap
Loaded up ready to come home
The stack that needs to go
The pair of 86 IDI's
