Thanks NumberDummy, this truck has been in the family for 20 years, my father was the second owner. I believe it is mostly original and in pretty good shape. Dad put it in the barn about 17 years ago. He just sold the farm and I pulled it out and got it running again. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I slowly get it back in shape.
