Thank you for the generous offer Lloyd. It is much appreciated. It may be a while before I can get to pulling this engine to see what's what, and I may have to bribe the AZ crew with food and beer and Mt. Dew for assistance with that task. I found a machine shop with good reviews in Mesa, so I may drop by there this week to ask some questions. If any one sees any good deals on rebuild kits, please let me know.

I have little room in my garage right now, so some other projects have now just moved up the list in order to make space for the engine and other stuff. I have two gigantic loft beds that I've been building for my kids, and they take up a good portion of my garage space, so that has now become my number one priority. They've taken too long because projects like this truck have come along, so now at least I'll have even more reason to complete them. Thanks for all the support guys.
