7.3 IDIT UPDATE

Lil bit of an update from the good fellow working on the truck he's selling me. Got the wheels turning and the correct bed on. Pulled the drain plug and a good amount of water came out. Tell me the good news and bad. Do I gotta start looking at other project vehicles? Thanks yall. Merry Christmas!

Which drain plug did you pull? The engine oil drain plug? the transmission drain plug? The radiator drain plug? The fuel filter drain plug? Some should have water in them... Others should not.
