Good luck with it! Keep us posted on your progress in getting it to run. And more pics.

Nice looking truck. The engine looks pretty good. I bet you can get it started pretty quickly.
What are your plans for it?
As Abe said, you know the drill, more pictures.

I'd like to get it able to yard drive to haul water totes from the shop gutters to the garden area

I should be so lucky. I was never able to tell an engine would run just from looking at it. I got fooled too many times. HA!

Kevin,
Sure looks good from that picture! I will be watching!

Chris

Spent all morning trying to get the locked up 223 to spin. About 1:00 I had it running and sounds really nice. The dump even works!

Awesome! Every body needs an F350!

Kevin,
Glad you got it running so soon! And the dump works too, nice bonus!
Regards,
Chris

On a double-dog dare I got the engine in my '49 to run after it had been sitting for 49 years. There's a video of it on here somewhere.

Nice work Kevin!!
