I'm restoring the truck and will be using mostly as a local driver and for chores around the place to include pulling a 13' 2400 lb stock trailer. I won't be hauling livestock but will be hauling about everything else, construction material and that occasional move to help a buddy, but nothing too heavy. It will replace a truck that I usually put 5,500 county road/state highway miles on each year.
We reside in a steep rugged mountain range far from civilization are not close to anyone or anything. Fedex and amazon are my best friends.
The truck is in great shape with no rust problems. I'm putting a standard bed size aluminum flat bed on it and I need to replace the speedometer. The odometer does not work on mine. This truck has been in the family and I know that there is about 80,000 miles on it.
Am I thinking about taking on a nightmare?
I need thoughts and lessons learned from experience on this one and make it easy for me start me from the beginning.
Thanks for all the help I can get.
