I have been thinking of totally going out on my own, but these deals sure make it easy to say, to heck with that. I really need to quit working on other people's stuff and work on my own stuff. Just work OT at work to get my parts. Oh wait, I already am. Dang it.

I did use the truck for hauling something. Haha I need to get the trailer wiring done because I could have used it to pick up a junk car yesterday. Instead, I used an old Dodge.

I've found that working on your own stuff doesn't pay as well...

It might be less head aches though. Haha

I got the engine mostly all buttoned up and got it running yesterday. I broke in the cam but I have a small fuel leak and the thing won't idle. Hopefully that is just a governor spring adjustment. The leak is either the #6 injection line or the return on the back of the head. Neither of which are fun to get at and it's been below 20* here since Tuesday night. Of course this truck is outside. Yeehaw.

Here are some pics of it before I got the injection lines on. It snowed the night before to and was a cold wet mess.
