    My K100 is a complete truck.
    Yes, its mine. Been parked since I bought my 379(avatar). The truck is complete. I have had it since 1984. It has a "Not" stock 350BC 1 (cpl 369), Holset 4 turbo, pulse manifold, RTO 12513, SQHD 3:70. The drivetrain (Trans, rears) all have been rebuilt, less than 50k on them. I was asking 5k but no one seem interested and wasn't going go for less, so I kept it. Now I have heard that the Cabovers are worth some mo money now. Will see......

    No interest in running it again? The back half looks sharp. I bet she steps up when you ask her to move.

    I've only ever driven company trucks up to now. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of a truck that will scoot. And isn't governed. I'm not complaining fella has to start somewhere. But it's time to get away from that and drive something with some nuts and can hang in the left lane.

    I don't want a COE but it's tempting :D

    369 is a good CPL, not the highest horsepower but has excellent torque and pulling power. The last one I rebuilt would out pull the only 400 big cam in our fleet. Both hauling 50K of coiled steel.
     
    Diesel Dave Thanks this.

    Long story short had to reorder the cylinders and find different pump.

    Pump-172$ (found cheaper pump hopefully it'll work)

    Shopping


    Lift cylinders- 232$ each from Ohio hydraulics (7-9 day delay because power packer need to make them)

    Saturday plan to get all new hoses made. Next paycheck batteries and new cables...
