Re: 72 k/20
Got some time this weekend to play around a bit. Got it running with a splash of gas down the carb. It fired right up. So I threw some in the in cab tank... It primed and fired. One problem. The ghetto rigged rubber fuel line from the tank to the pump leakes bad. I only ran it for 2-3 seconds each fire. (15 mins apart) because the radiator is missing. I also pulled the inner fenders to check the toe boards out... They have the sexy original dark olive paint still on them. The floors and lower flange on the fire wall rusted from the inside out... Weird... Needless to say I'm making a patch panel and parts list and plans for late spring early summer to start fixing rust and get the old beast on the road. The worst thing I found in the whole day was the lower outer cowl "floor" where the drains are is all hacked up from the "custom" speakers some one put in the kick panels. Probably gonna be a blast to get that fixed up. I thought I too more pics but I guess I didnt. I'll get some more when I'm home from the road tomorrow night.... Pics to follow
