Thanks for the help. Just trying to learn as much as possible about the truck. I just started working on it. I am about to order a shop repair manual. Besides this forum are there any books, magazines or articles you would reccommend before I begin any serious repairs to the truck. I just tuned it and got the lights working. Compression on the cylinders is between 82 and 100. I plan on keeping the truck close to original and start on the brakes so I can drive it a little and then try to deal with the body work and rust. Thanks again. John
