This probably wasn't the greatest idea, but after I had it running, I decided to take the truck for a "test drive". This was with no brakes, tires that only hold air for 15 minutes (and later came off the bead), and the engine hotwired, as the ignition switch shorted out. Anyway, it was fun, and it proved to me that the motor was at least strong enough to move the truck, albeit in granny gear. Here's a link to a video of the first drive:
