project number 5

Well decided to get a head start on my next truck inline, my 1953's.

I got good news and bad news.
Bad news, the flathead motor seized this past winter.

Good news, nothing else can go wrong.

It's a truck with a seized motor, bashed up fenders no box rusty cab cracked and broken windows and the interior was parted out. Also it is a longbox 3/4 ton not a half ton. Oh great, a fixer upper by Ukrianian standards.

lol, that may be the smarter thing to do.

Well I got my special mix soaking in the pistons, I gave dad instructions on what I want added in each piston during the week and mixed it all up for him. Next Saturday I guess I'll see how the old gal is.

Well it should work, it worked on my 1949, the 1953 shouldn't be too bad, as they teach on the non-dark side patience young Skywalker patience.

I'll keep it in mind though Fom, first in line.
