R&D Dodge Posted November 9, 2017 Report Posted November 9, 2017 Great find, great picture & thank you for sharing, excited for you, good job getting it bought and home! Quote
Mike36 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Posted November 9, 2017 Joe, I would pull the plugs and put oil in the cylinders,using a hose to get the oil onto the Pistons. Just because engine turns now doesn't mean it will in two years when you start on it. 1 Quote

Looking forward to updates, although I realize they may still be a ways off. Lol, I'm surprised this thread came back to life! I think about this truck ALL the time. I am working towards finding a new house with a larger garage so I can tackle this project, but the main reason for a bigger house is the addition of our baby boy. He's 5 1/2 months old now, and he is taking up half of the house! We're rapidly out growing our house and if we're going to move, I'm going to make sure that I have adequate space for all the vehicles plus space to work on a project. Once we get through the process of getting settled somewhere else, the COE is first on the list! I'm hoping it's sooner than later! I'm trying to get our boy up to speed in the garage, but all he wants to do is spectate and hold a wrench! Edited June 26, 2019 by 52b3b Joe 8 2 Quote

FlashBuddy Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 That kid will come in handy down the road. I use my boy for the upside down and underneath something jobs. He's 25 now - time flies! I know you'll enjoy every minute of fatherhood. Well, maybe not "every" minute, but a lot of minutes for sure and especially those minutes when your right side up watching work get done on the truck! 1 Quote
Dodgeed Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 Hey, thanks for the update. Now we know. When you do finally get "settled", if there really is such a thing, please continue w/the pix & updates. Best of luck? 1 Quote

52b3b Joe Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Posted October 16, 2019 Well, I thought I'd give a small update on the COE. Progress towards starting on the COE project has made a huge leap in the right direction. My wife and I are in the process of buying a new house that is very equipped to handle my hobby needs! We're buying a nice house in the county with no neighbors to speak of, more than enough land (more grass than I wanted), a stick built 30x50 shop, and a 40x60 pole barn. I have no idea how I'm going to fill up the pole barn, but I'm sure I'll figure it out in no time! The current owners were nice enough to let me park it there until they move out, so I was able to take the COE there this past weekend. It's still going to be difficult to find time to work on it with our baby, but it'll get there eventually. 5 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 good for you....wish you all success.....and hey...get a good lawn mower.....ya gonna need it. 1 Quote
Young Ed Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 congrats on the new place! Nothing wrong with stashing the COE safely indoors until you have some time 1 Quote
RobertKB Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 Very nice set up you have purchased. Nice to see the COE has a good home and someone who appreciates it. Always like updates to this thread. 1 Quote
