Shame. ‘71 that got a lot of love in the 90s but the PO windowed the block on both sides.

Don’t tell that forklift it’s only rated for 6,000
Winch looks much older and seems frozen.
PTO Shaft is in the cab.

Windowed block makes rod bearing inspection so much easier!
Truck looks decent, otherwise!

Looks good. Appears the winch was added judging from all the colors. My 4000 lift moves deuces around exactly the same way, I also have a hitch ball in the fork in the same spot, great minds think alike.

I was told the truck drove home windowed. I wanted to know if accessories worked.
Today I pumped gas, then diesel thru engine from oil fill and out drain, then filled with clean used oil. Removed the top center bolt in HH and cleaned out thru the shutoff lever bore (was stuck). I hooked up a 12v 30psi fuel pump from clean supply to hyd head. Assume fuel sys is gooked. Disconnected the #2 inj line. Put batteries in and cranked away, vroom! Rattle rattle rattle chug chug, slinging oil everywhere. Fitted some cardboard in the block windows, put water in the cooling sys, and ran it a few. Everything seems good.

It's also a good way to dent a nice hood with a chain. Got my '70, dummy. Flipping the shackles the other way might help.
Data plate says W/W but I’m sure that winch was swapped on. It’s ancient green to yellow from decades of desert sun. Keeps the chain away from the hood anyway. Good working perch too.

Good to see a lot of the old names still around. I regret being gone.
@rustystud you still around? We never made that visit.

Why do some tanks get rust (presumably from condensation) in the desert and some don’t? Vents?
Same with crank cases. One of my water trucks is all rust in the valve covers.
