Thanks Rob
We will talk when you get back from sunny Mexhico.  But you are right the vehicle is problematic,  we just want it for shows and local driving. I am an optimistic on the truck, if it catches fire the insurance will pay me a lot more than it is worth.  Gilles

The first one fired right up and purred. Number 2 has frozen rear brakes. Will work on that one tomorrow.

We fired up two more of the ones I got today and no issues so far. I'm going to fire up some more of them tomorrow once I check over the fluids. One of ours has frozen rear brakes too but they have been sitting awhile. Ryan

Ryan, truck number 2 is just as good as truck number 1. The warm weather today thawed out the frozen rear brakes. I believe the truck had been sitting with the emergency brake on and seized/froze. Feed it up today and the truck runs like a champ. Both trucks seem to have relatively new tires. The SKU stickers are still on the tires. I checked all lights, horn, working componenets. Brakes look good from what I can see. I think they will both certify without any issues. I got lucky! Only thing missing is the passenger seat and one door to the battery storage area. Ryan, how many did you buy? Im going to get a couple more for parts.
