The pistons are already 30 thou over

What a waste, a rebuilt motor left to the elements, damm shame
The machining marks are still in the good bores, so I am asuming it was hardly run. In fact I think there was a total restore happening from other indications on this truck's chassis, like new brakes, new clutch plate and painted wheels.

oh well

The front V pully is almost gone, and I'll need more teeth on the ring gear or crank it

Even the front drive shaft has holes in it

So how bad could the steering box be?

at least I didn't hack it apart with an oxy torch!

the bearing surface is badly pitted but the balls and teeth are ok

I may be able to machine this end down flat to fit a tapered bearing.

I think I will call this truck "The Phoenix" if it ever rises from the rust!

I think you should call it "The Stallion".

Only one horsepower, but the balls and teeth are OK.
