First post and Truck

Hey everyone, I decided that it was about time I get a truck since i'll be moving every 8 months for the next 2 years for work. I pulled the trigger when I saw basically the exact truck I was looking for pop up on CL. When I went to look at her she was a little rough around the edges but she spend her whole life in a small town in Iowa and the guy I bought it from seemed like a straight shooter. It has the normal rust that comes along with Iowa but it starts right up, doesn't smoke, and only has one leak from the power steering gear so far. I've been going through fixing some things up and thought this form looked like a great source of information!

Here is my 1996 PSD 4x4 5spd with 196k miles
