Well, I woke up feeling good, and came home feeling good, but the time in between, well, sucked!
spent over 5 hours trying to get the flatbed to start and run. Kept sucking in air from some unknown location and I am beginning to think that the fuel pump is the culprit! Idk!
anyway, by 2:15 we were on the road and headed up north. Managed to make it up to hal stewards without any probs and spent some time trying to get the piece of metal onto the trailer. Hooked my winch up to it and eventually got it on, but a few things troubled it's loading. Got home and turned it around in the driveway and am ready to head out to the barn! The 6.9 better start this morning or I'll be .....
nothing's been up the road to our barn in years, so some chainsaws will be required!
will take some pics and report back. Oh, the 68 1300b has a dump bed, ra-15 rear axle (man that thing is huge) that has either a power-lock or detroit, np 202 t-case, pto, and Dana 44 front. Front frame is toast as this was a plow truck and it looks like they hit something hard! Patched up the frame w/ 3/8 steel and it still managed to break when it was loaded on the trailer!
if anybody needs glass, a seat, cab, doors, or some interior parts then let me know.

oh, and the addiction has been going for a while, just needed to find more space! Had fun clearing the road of blackberries/trees/rocks that had accumulated over the past 10 years!
