I don’t blame you, I would do it!

The engine looks to me like it was rebuilt sometime very shortly before the truck was parked. It looks like I can still see a bunch of "lubriplate" around the rods/journals, on the front cam gear, etc.. If the piston tops were actually that clean - then it has not been ran at all. Did you clean them up?
Only cleaning I did on cylinders/piston tops was some compressed air to get the “big chunks” out of there.

Already gotten a lot of information and further in the weeds thanks to Chris’s thread. Working on getting to my “10 posts” count to PM him some contact info. Hoping to work with him and compare the two trucks/projects/part procurement/etc.
