Well after a 13 hour fiasco trying to get this truck home, where anything and everything could have gone wrong, and Lori learing some valuable new words, the beast is finally home.

The cool parts was some of the people we past were checking out both 80's models crusing down the hwy.

[SVO]

Went and snatched the truck up with the fork lift and as I was moving it the hub/wheel/brake/axle assy came out in the parking lot, no biggie I just wanted it all to stay together (I later went back with a smaller fork lift and retieved it).

I was very nice that Harold let me use the forklifts, facillities, and air, but I was outside in the gravel, rocks all poking me in the back and such.

Every single u-bolt was frozen and had to be heated to be removed.

The brake line was also frozen.

The brake bleeders where corrodedand full of shit, and had to be cleaned once removed.

Once the axle was in place, the right rear drum was frozen, and wouldn't turn, and it too an act of hell to get the hub nut and the drum off, after readjusting the brakes, the hub nut wouldn't go back on, so I snatched the one off the other axle.

Come to find out, that 1981's have left handed thread lugs and 1985 axle don't, so I had to run around and scrounge up another set of lug nuts, than one lug stud was striped out :

And for some reason the I.D. on the wheels are smaller on the 1981, than the 1985, so I had to bully boy the wheels on with the lugs.

Repaired the leaky fuel line from the pump the carb.


IT MOVES AND DRIVES!!!

So we start home and go eat our firrst meal for the day and start on out way home.

I have never trusted the gas guages in these trucks, but I did fill both tanks over a year ago, HAHAHAHHA!

15 miles from the house we run out of fuel, so we drive home to get the gas can and tow strap, why, cause the battery is dead from the alternator not charging the battery, and as I looked at the cables and starter, the long tube headers are RICHT ON THE STARTER, you don't think that would kill a starter.

And while under there I notcied that an ear of the block is busted and they're using a Heli-Coil for a MFing nut eyes:

The clutch pedal linkaged is President OBama Rigged.

And the newly assembled motor, has a huge intake oil leak that is puking over the front of the motor by the distributor.

So I put my jump box under the hood to act as a battery, and had Lori pull me with the Flareside to get the dually started, and then once started (by this time it's dark thirty) I cheack the head lamps and the high beam switch is being flakey, meaning no head lights, or high bems sometimes low beams, shit make up your mind already, just give me something.

So we went to fill up, and damn it I was right someone had siphoned the tanks dry, so the guage reading 1/8 was in fact correct, can't belive I went 100 miles on that little of fuel.



OK now it's home, my one hour swap it was not

[KF5ZXT]

Jesus H. I think I'd have left the truck on the side of the road.
