Wow, PA rust. Just like MD. My frame looks worse but my cab is really good.

Would make a great daily driver.

Installed new water pump. Old one was weeping and a bit gritty when you spin it. Hopefully the new one won't leak...

Did they put the decimal in the wrong spot? Looks a bit rough for 5k. Guess the plow is 4500?

Illinois so probably more rusted than mine...

That was a good episode. Saw them using it as a parts hauler in a more recent one. I test drove a 3.0 when I bought my 4.0 and there was a big difference off the line to me, but I'd have thought it would wind up just fine.

Yeah I can't believe that it's gone. I haven’t been over it in years but was frequently in the area around route 10, Ordinance Rd and Glen Burnie.

Sharp truck! It is the best year too. I may be biased... Hope you don't rely on the Key Bridge. That was a shocker.

Welcome! I bought my 83 in 93 but loved them since year one. Wish I still had that one. Never had the means or space to add to the fleet but looking forward to seeing your collection.

Location means a lot. Around me that would be pretty good.

This all sounds good to me. I've probably done the rpm variation while setting the timing and fiddling with the carb. Just put a new master cylinder in last week so probably do that oil change next Saturday. Then I'll follow @Uncle Gump and drive it!

Can't seem to find my specific situation address on the internet. I've tried all sorts of searches but no luck. Did a budget rebuild on a 326 Pontiac with heads disassembled and cleaned, rings, bottle brush honing, new rod and main bearings, but didn't touch the cam or flat tappet hydraulic...

Long truck! Dealer pricing. Would be a fun project but not for me at that price. Alarm?

Changed oil. Noticed rear main seal is leaking more than usual. Front crank seal leaking a little and coolant leaking from WP weep hole. Fortunately I have a WP in stock. She's getting tired... Now where did I put that "easy button"?

This gets my vote.
