3/3/24 update:
Able to tear down the truck a little more. Didn't get to the compression test or leak down test yet but pulled some plugs. They don't look good.

The oil has always leaked - going to fix that when I pull the engine.


The coolant passageways look clean enough. Odd, I can see a bolt in the passageway. I guess this is normal?

I am sure this is not the right pully. It has a vbelt and 6 rib belt. I think it should have just the 6 rib belt.

That's OK because most the the accessory brackets were wrong or missing.

My solution (with help from this website - thanks):
Start over fresh and new

or buy from ebay: (fan doesn't look right)

Throttle body needs a re-build.

and needs a complete re-wire. I think I will buy the "Light switch eliminator" kit from Summit.
