[SS From the "Wood"]

Got to drive the donor truck today from service station that we have contracted to repair/maintain our fleet vehicles. Good news is, the compression is great on the 260K mile motor. Bad news is, the tranny is in need of a rebuild. Great news is, God's going to help me rebuild both. 1.) I wouldn't settle for a 260K mile motor. 2.) I'll need to be able to move my truck in reverse. 3.) This is what building a project truck is all about. 4.) I may only spend $300-$500 for an entire truck I'll only need a few key items from, and can sell off the rest and make my money back 2 fold! Score! Amen! The way I see it, buying this truck will fund my entire motor/tranny swap and rebuild. If I've done my math right that is...

No progress to report, and my son's baseball season is just ramping up, so it's gonna come slowly. I'm steadily gathering info for the build though.
