    My SIL worked for conoco phillips on the slope and they furnished all the tools.
    I knew of a shop on I 40 in new mexico that furnished their techs tools, they kept an inventory and the techs had to replace anything that came up missing.

    I will be watching your thread, I have 82 A model, that is a heavily loaded truck for the time I hope to one day redo, I want say restore, because I will be using some later model rears and suspension I have and haven't decided, but may go with an electronic engine too.

    So update time:

    6 liners are out, block is off the stand and on jackstands. Block looks good so far. On the hunt for a machine shop to hot tank the block and head. Just working on getting a parts list together so I can get a quote done up. Going to leave the engine PCTA and get the pump turned down to the factory 375 hp rating.

    I think the later As were DI because one that I drove, and the one I bought both had DITA Cat stickers on them.

    Edit to add: Neither of them had had glow plugs or the corresponding switch in the cab.

    Yep. I'd have to check SIS but I think they made the change to factory DITA about 2500 engines after mine. You lost the glow plugs if you converted.
