Glad to hear that there is still life in the old girl. With the TLC that you are giving her she should be good for another 100,000 miles.
Cheers :beer:

Well, I drove the truck about a hundred miles today. Everything worked great! She hasn't ran this good since I bought her. I found something at the Junk yard to put under the hood(o: I'll get pictures of it tomorrow.

It's an old York A/C compressor. They have their own oil reservoir and don't rely on lube in the freon. They make great on-board air compressors\o/

That is a great score Wes. That electric clutch will be handy too. I installed several hundred of those back in the 50's and 60's.

I paid just a little extra for the compressor($50). But It was OK because it came with the clutch\o/ I have 2 or three air tanks lying around and a couple air horns. They will be the first add-ons:o) I would really like to get air lockers for the differentials. But that will have to wait.
I need to see If I can find some compression fittings that fit the compressor and convert them to a 1/2" NPT. That will make it easier to plumb things up. I think I have a pressure switch to run the clutch. That leaves me needing a check valve and a pop off valve and a fancy gauge for the dash:o)
There will also be a couple of quick connects and hose storage to run air tools:o)
