Diesel Update

Ok so there has been this big truck sitting in my driveway begging for attention, Today a pair of batteries and a starter solenoid were purchased and installed, along with some splices for the transmission lines, that had to be cut so they could be installed. The solenoid was replaced and the starter installed and the two batteries, pulled the headlight switch on and the lights worked, yeah! Then to push my luck I turned on the key and the dash lights came on, next I turned the key to start........the starter works, and the engine turns over, Woo hoo!!!!!
Next on the list finish the fuel lines and belts, a few holes in the door jambs for electrical and weld in some pieces to the floor and bolt down the seats. it just might run.

It sounded like "Frankinstein's first breath", a project coming to life.

How long has this baby been in labor?
