It finally runs.
I finally got the truck to run, corse it still has a few issues that I have been working on. The darn alternator is shot, tach does not work, and the fuel gauge says that the tanks are full when they arn't. I am hoping to have the truck inspected and drive able next week.

I plan on fixing the rust this summer and then it will be time for some paint. I have new body bushing, but I still have to go through and replace the leaf spring bushings front and rear. The truck did have a blade mout and air shocks on it when I bought it, I cut the blade mount off but left the air shocks on the front. I put the factory bumper on it for now so that it would pass the inspection but i do plan on building a custom front bumper/grill guard for it some time to help protect it from those pesky deer.

I found out that the issue with the tach has been with the tach it self, looks like the cluster i bought off of ebay has some issues. 
I will be going to the junk yard on tuesday to get another one.
