So, we have finally arrived and I have been and visited the truck. A few mixed emotions, but overall I am fairly happy with how things are looking.
Please excuse my finger, still trying to remember where the lens is for the camera

Although, here is the good news/bad news situation.
Nobody mentioned to me that the motor was in bits, but there is now the option of a new powerplant to replace what is now sitting under the hood and in the cab. I guess it is time to research what kits are available for a fairly painless swap.
