Hey from central VA

We'll, I've been scrapping for a couple of months. I'm getting into it fairly big. I thought about this for probably 6 months. I found a very good deal on an old rollback truck in good shape, so I just bought it.
It's a 1985 international S1600 with a 6.9 diesel, 19' Jerr-Dan bed, Ramsey winch and disc brakes all the way around.Only 77000 miles. Old but slow, very solid truck, never used commercially. I know these trucks very well as I once traded a fence for a wrecked S1700, and changed the cab on it to have a good truck.
I hope to make this work, I have better start than most, with the rollback, a 24'X32' shop, an old tractor with a front end loader and a good supply of mechanic tools. I have experience running a small business as I was a fence contractor for about 15 years.
I have been a career medic for a nearby rural county for the last 9 years. A great job, great benefits, ok pay. But.... I'm burnt out. So, I will bite off more than I can chew and go from there. That's what I do. That's what I've always done.
So, any help is appreciated. I hope I can be of some assistance to others. I'm 55 years old and have extensive life experience. Not my first dabble into junk cars. When I was 19, I had a 51 ford F 7 (I think it was), with a very nice home made wrecker body on it with a hand crank winch, that I put a Chevy small block V8 in. Bad ass! It would pull the front wheels off the ground. Alcohol may have been involved and that could have been how the drive shaft got broken. Those were the good old days. I'm much more mature now. I lived in an old school bus in a junk yard. True story.
Look forward to learning from others on these boards !
See ya.
