Junkyard Cruiser
Hey guys, thought you might get a kick out of this. Plan to get some new meats and do some maintenance next time I'm at my friend's place, get it back wheeling. It's a sweet truck.

Straight-up diamond plate steel! I laughed so hard i peed 2 pee drops, lol. Great vid, i couldnt believe my eyes, sitting for 13 years, and dont forget the time spent being used before it started sitting, which would be like 25yr +/- 5years (i dont know what year it is, probably mid 70s) So awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool Video!

Take #5? approximately 4:09--Are you pumping the throttle in between cranking it? Ha Ha- It's a diesel dude!

Good job though, it's cool to see it running.

What a find. That was a great video and quite impressive to see it run after all those years. I think the best part is the seat belt/fuel pump modification. At least you know no one would ever steal it because they wouldn't be able to figure out the seat belt mod. That thing was so sunk into the mud, you almost had to have excavators to get it out.
