So I moved to a new area of Oregon for my new job as an enjuneer, fresh out of school. A friend of mine has a 1500 acre ranch down there. I'm actually living with him and his wife (knew her in HS) while I work M-F and then go back up North a few hours where my family currently is. Well one night he invited me over to the ranch so I went to go take a look. SO MANY PROJECTS!
Anyways he asked me if I could get an "Old Farm Truck Running" and I said sure. Then I walked up on it. We got to talking, he said they would pay me to work there. I said what about bartering? And thats when I talked myself into this truck. They also have a set of Toyo MT's in 315/75/16 that I'm going to work off as well.
But as of writing this, its mine whenever I want it. I feel like I should work a little more. I did just save them $2k because a mechanic wanted to replace the IP on a VP Cummins. They towed it home and I bled the fuel system, and its been running fine since. They had just ran it out of fuel, the fuel gauge isn't working.
I'm going to DD this thing, as our new house is only a few miles from home. I'll start fixing the Red Truck while I drive this thing around. Super stoked!
I'm thinking a 110-150cc pump. 7.3 IDI, BW s364 fmw. Maybe keep the T19 and throw in a overdrive box.
