After getting the truck working, the real problem arises. The integrity of the fuel storage tanks needs to be determined. An inspection will probably show that fuel lines are compromised, and tanks are leakers. In the event of a spill, the cost of a ground clean up could be frightening. However, truck tankers are very collectable in the fuel industry. Good luck finding the right buyer. I would suggest contacting the National Tank Truck Carriers Association in Verginia. They might know of the right company to call.

The 1968 Dodge Cornet 440 is finished and back on the road and damned if Cody didn't drag a 1969 Dodge L700 tanker home. The surprising thing is the Cab is almost rust free the bed not so much . the truck had been used on his farm to fuel his equip., but has been setting for the last 10 yrs because the starter had gone out.
I wasn't at the shop when they tilted the cab but the collected three 50gal trash can of rats nest, the engine wouldn't turn over by hand she they removed the spark plugs and put oil in each cylinder. and left it set.
The next day I replaced the starter, we installed a battery and I connected the remote starter hit the button and promptly got a bath in oil oops note: to self don't stand there the next time Checked compression and found it to be acceptable.
Next, new plugs, wires, dist cap points, cond.and a new fuel pump so far so good, the carb was shot it leaked at the throttle shaft. Searched the internet for a couple of hrs. Couldn't find a direct fit Carb for under $495, another twenty mins and I had a later model carb, for the same size eng for $86.00 with a few small mods it worked and after about a half of running the engine smoothed out a purred like a kitten and didn't smoke,
Now the plan is to make it safe to drive and find someone that wants to buy it.

Been rebuilding trucks and cars (on and off ... mostly off) since the 60s too. In the interest of "SAFETY" you should get rid of those damned Dayton Rims. Two piece rims like that are HORRIBLE to maintain. The bottom of an old disused quarry would be a safer place for them. Everything else looks on track to be a great restoration. Kudos
