2002 Dually project.
New to me truck. 2002 dually. Been parked at a ranch for a few years. They stopped using it because the shift lever plunger broke. Gonna be needing lots of advice. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the FTE!
We love to offer advice and encouragement for projects like this and we look forward to seeing the progress you make! You probably already know this, but fresh fuel, fresh oil and check for rodent damage on the main harness and in the valley.
Looks a little rough around the edges now, but there is a highly valued diamond under there!

Looking forward to watching this project. Looks like a southern truck so rust won't be an issue but the dust resembles my truck which came from Tx originally. You'll be digging that stuff out for a while. Think I still have an inch or 2 inside my doors

Ha! Thanks Rob. I actually DID look at those. They may just need a good washing, but I can't totally tell from the photos if it's just dirt or if they are corroded. My bet is they will need the full treatment. If the OP wants advice, I'll be glad to give it.

thanks guys for the warm welcome.
I've so far bought batteries and fluids, and i guess we take it from there.
it's a southern texas truck for sure.
plenty of organic matter on it, thankfully not inside it tho. Just about a few pounds of dust.
it's missing one of the aluminum front wheels, so imma have to see about finding one, or replacing set, or driving around like mater :P
thanks boys, I will post some pics of the process of pulling it outta there.

So it's been a while, I had to sit on moving and starting repairs on this because my wife got sick. but i'm happy to say that finally it's running and i've started ordering parts.
i'm looking for a dually front wheel. if anybody knows any leads on that it'd be appreciated.
