ArdWrknTrk Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I bought my truck to do weekly trash runs to the dump, trash smalls bad in the vary hot summer in my SUV! Well when I got it home I took it completely apart for a rebuild over 4 years. I did not rebuild the motor as it ran good before the work started, or the rear axle, but everything else was gone through. When I got it on the road, first road test it failed big time but just made it back to the house. A week later the fire drive was 35+ miles to my work for a car show they put on for 60 years in buss. I found the T18 transmission was junk so I found a used NP435 and bought Advance Adaptor over drive unit to install with the swap. I also got the AC working late last summer but had a leak I hope just fixed. I have a oil leak that I need to find and fix and I am still tweaking the carb / timing for better MPG. With all the work I have done to it there is nothing more I want to do other than enjoy driving it. It was done to be a nice looking driver, back up to pull my car trailer, and hit a car show or two. Had 2 people at the gas station and 1 today at the dump say it was nice looking truck. I do drive it to work a lot, 35+ miles each way, and use it weekly for the trash runs. Someone calls it the "garbage truck" LOL see the trach in the bed? Yes I did all the work. Dave ---- Yes! Yes, I do. 😁 But I think "Garbage Scow" has a certain cache that is more becoming.

I bought a set of emblems to replace the "custom" moniker on my truck. But it's not appropriate for this forum, so....
