Yippie. I got the CUCV cranked today. I have been working on the engine project after pulling it to do a bunch of repairs. I finished up installing the (new to me) used exhaust system Saturday. Sunday I mounted the starter and support bracket and a few other little things. I couldn't get the fuel system bled because the batteries were shot. I even took the batteries out of my car and tractor but still didn't have enough juice to get her going. Today I went and bought two new group 31 batteries with 950CCA. Hooked them babies up and she spun over so fast I thought the engine was gonna fly out of the truck. The fuel system bled right out. I closed the bleeder valve and she cranked right up and ran well. Now I just have to do something with those old slick tires, get insurance and a tag and on the road again. WooHoo. I sure have missed driving this beast. Soon, very soon.
