So the project name for this truck has been "Budget Build" , "m thinking its more like budgets build. Pulled the cam out and found all the bearings wiped out. A previous bad oil pump had taken its toll. Pulled the block stripped it and sent it off to the machine shop. Got a call today that the crank was worn and groved so bad it need to be sent out and turned, one piston has a broken oil grove, and there were a few cylenders that the valves leaked. Atleast I wont have to worry about the engine after this!
Spent some time this weekend stripping the body. Its been painted 3 times total. Factory was a light blue, in the 80's a dark blue was sprayed inside and out. In the last 10 years it was sprayed a lighter blue, possibly sprayed with wagner sprayer considering how thick it was sprayed. It also got a right front fender (cheapo) and had some repair work done to the radiator support.
