Thank You. If we get it running it will be fun to cruise around in. Maybe go to car shows.

I got the truck home on monday. I drained the gas, about 4 gallons. I got a new battery for it.

I got the engine running. Basically a sheared roll pin in the distributor caused it not to run.
I don't know what the situation is with the brakes yet. But I drove it around the block anyway.

Hey, The truck is still running but a little better now that i set the timing. I drove her to the car wash 2 miles away...

Nice, love it.
My first thought is that box would be cool if it was converted into a camper!
Did you run a bottle of Mystery Oil through the motor? I like that stuff.

Cool! It seems like this vehicle will keep you busy for a long period of time.
