replaced the battery mashed the fuel pump with a empty can of carb cleaner to get it to work drained fuel tanks and sanded the points and she fired right up. sorry about this being a long post i didnt know of anyother way of doing it because i think every aspect of this truck is cool and i wanted you guys to see it.

well i plan on using the truck to tow home rigs that i buy. and maybe start a little business with it im currently looking for a 18ft car trailer and a flat tow bar for my truck. and i was thinking about mounting a 12,000lb winch to the front of the truck. i dont think ill be pulling any semi trailers with it lol but you never know.
