I was super happy at that point .... over a week of soaking every day with oil wd-40 and gasoline to wash it out every other day i finally got it loose enough to try the electric starter.... that flushed out the cylinders real good but covered one fender with oil and crap.... no biggy as it was going to be painted anyway....
the compression was good enough to pop my thumb off the cylinder on each plug hole so I checked spark and had to fix that.... got that done and pulled the carb and gave it a good going over put it back together and used quick start and primed it with about 3 oz. of fuel and hit the starter it fired up on the second revolution ! and ran great....
in the months to follow it never moved, so I traded it for a CB radio and a weener pig that we had butchered ....
that fella really wanted that truck in the worst way so I got everything that he had for the radio and I moved to the deep woods and used that to communicate with my Mom every night ! I built a log cabin, made the road and log bridge and had a gay o'l time being young.... now I would not even attempt something like that ! LOL
