I picked up this back in the spring off of a local Fire Department. The goal is to do a cheap DD that will eventually be used for some wheeling once I find a job.
Its got a 360 engine, 727 trans, its 4wd, and the motor was not running right, so they sold it. 56k original miles. I got it home, got the motor running but it knocked REAL bad so I finally got around to pulling the engine today. The Oil pump stopped, and wiped the cam. I purchased a Dodge camper with a rebuilt 360 and 727 trans REAL cheap, so I had a spare engine if this one was shot. Luckily I did.
This was a shot just after I pulled the motor
Got the engine out and then got the drill and wire brush out, and got off all the loose crap and hit the front frame rails with some of Eastwoods Rust Inhibitor. *Great Stuff I might add*
When i got the truck, the interior was black and gross (I would imagine from being to alot of calls since it was the Chief's vehicle) but I finally got the seats to clean up. The carpet is up a little because the one window seal leaks a little, but I think I may have got that fixed today.
Hopefully I will have the other engine out and ready within a week, and maybe have this on the road in two or so. The engine in my Ram needs freeze plugs BAD (I guess its due at 180,000 miles) so that will be off the road soon for some freshening up.
