If you just pulled it out of a back yard, how long has it been since it ran?

Tires, wheels (rust isn't your friend on those), brakes, and steering FIRST.
The last registration expired in 93. My dad quit driving it because it was using oil like crazy. First thing i'm doing is body work. There are a couple bad rust holes that will be patched on the cab, everything else is pretty much rust free. I have to track down a grill and passenger side fender, as they're trash. I will take care of upgrading the brakes and replacing the tie rod/ends before I actually drive this truck.

Wheels are ugly but functional, and will be replaced a little further down the road. Tires will be replaced before the truck is driven, but they still hold air and i'm using them to move the truck around the yard.

It's the 303. Good or bad?
