I bought this truck in June of '99. It was in descent shape with the usual rusty cab corners and rockers, and the engine had a dead miss, but I liked it alot, so I bought it. I got it home and tried to tune it up, but the dead cylinder had no compression(valve), and it drove my crazy, so I had to tear into it. My plan was to rebuild the engine, fix the rust, repaint it, and drive it. That plan didn't last long. Here's what I started with.
