Re: 1972 C30 Dump truck

Everyone has there concoction to free cylinders on a stuck engine. The biggest thing is get something thin enough to work it's way into the rings but sticky or thick enough to not just slide down into the oil pan. A high detergent ATF would probably work well since you can never get it off your hands.

The truck looks awesome after the bath and that winch is a beast. You could probably beaver tail that extension with 2 hydraulic cylinders Teed off the winch and be able to load a tractor on there. Just a thought.

We have been getting rain the last 2 days so I just got done scrubbing the jeep down (first time in 3 years that we owned it) and about 1/2 of my 57 dump bed. I have been playing with that one for the 2 weeks on and off getting her back on the road. If the weather lifts I need to get gravel for the driveway so we will see if she can earn her keep. Fingers crossed since it has a spreader gate.
