I'm impressed that the previous owner placed a tarp under the truck when he parked it. That's a sure sign that he cared deeply about the truck in my opinion.  I'm not even the slightest of a truck guy but this thing is amazing. I can only imagine the joy of hearing this insane turbo whine and sound of the engine for so many years. The old guy must have had so many joyful moments in this thing.. Amazing sunsets..  Couldn’t stop smiling, the old girl busted her heart to start up. Great job you guys and let’s spare a thought for the gentleman who is no longer with us who would have spent so many hours in this truck and obviously looked after her well.  Amazing to think of how many tons of goods and supplies she pulled across how many thousands of miles over how many of the States of America ..... .....A grand thing to see her live again :)  I retired after 45 years otr and 6 million miles. I personally think what your'e doing is quite respectful. And I love that old pete. Good job keep it up and keep posting it.  What a beautiful truck !! How nice to have people who love these machines, and help them not to be just in remembrance. It deserves a beautiful restoration to start running again !! It is not just a truck; are years of stories!!
