I didn't write those last days because we're busy at cutting and splitting firewood....we bought 20 tons on 4 meter long logs of beechwood. We almost finished, but it's a lot of work.
Anyway, this week the truck didn't show any leaks, so we were happy. Yesterday afternoon a new one appeared, probably should be the fuel return lines. I think it could be a good idea to check the o-rings on fuel filter manager too. I read that often there are leaks also from there.
Then, as said in the *****'s thread, mine is one of the few American trucks used to work here in Italy.....look at what the previous owner did to the bed. He cut the inner wheel well to have a regular load surface. He also put some rubber bump stops to limitate suspension travel (it's not a good idea to let the wheels hit the bed).
At first we thought to eliminate everything and go back to stock conditions but after a couple of occasions where we had to load big things we had to admit that this mod is useful.
Anyway we will see....one thing is sure : the bed (and the cabin) must be restored due to rust.
Next week we should lift the bed and start the restauration of the frame. It's ok, has just surface rust, but we like to have it like new.
And now, the bed :
