    Damn, that thing is a GREAT start on a trail-only rig! That really isnt that much work to do. Looks like a great project

    Some bad news :(

    My mechanic found that the #3 cylinder has no compression. Ba Hum Bug!

    So now she is gonna have heart surgery to find the problem, hope it isn't to major. But either way it isn't gonna be cheap. I am depressed now, I was hoping to do some wheeling this weekend.

    That is a killer deal you got there!


    Hopefully the compression issue is something small like a stuck valve.
    Good Luck with the truck!
