Home and safe in my yard

[Jimal]

I'm sort of bouncing between this and the 4x4 forum. Please pardon the duplication.

Got the truck home last night. On the 31-11.50-15's that are currently on it, the truck is about 3 inches taller than the lowest part of the garage door. I'm looking at 31-10.50-15's for the steel wheels, so I think this is going to be an outdoor truck.



The good news is there is a shock on the back at least that I can use to measure for replacements. Nothing on the front.



The front has one of those "use a limited slip additive" tags on it. I didn't look for it on the back. I'm also not as impressed with the exhaust as I first was. Seems rather restrictive coming out of the manifolds. Something to figure out.



The seller said he was able to run the truck by spraying starting fluid into the carb, but that it wouldn't take fuel from a gas can (the rear-mounted tank isn't quite ready yet) so I'm thinking at least a stuck needle or a bad float, or at worst a bad fuel pump.

I ordered my first batch of parts last night Depending on weather and motivation tomorrow I'm either going to just document a bunch of stuff or throw a charger on the battery and see if I can get it running.
