Hi folks, I just wanted to do an introduction of myself. My names Michael, 49 years old, electrician by trade.
My Dad bought this truck about 10 years ago, sadly he passed away this year. It runs well, but I have recently been doing some long overdue maintenance on it.....rewiring/working on charging system, replaced a broken exhaust manifold, things of that nature.
I stumbled across this site, and it seemed just the ticket for information and help with working on the truck. And that's greatly appreciated.
Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick introduction and share our truck, before I hit you all up with a barrage of questions.

Welcome. It will be good to have you on this forum. You have a great truck there. That it belonged to your dad makes it even more special....
