Got it going!

As my previous post stated, no spark in the beginning. New ignition module, no spark, new coil, no spark, new distributor, she was sparking!

still couldn’t get it fire. Took a shot and rebuilt the carb this afternoon. She fired off on the first crank, a lil distributor messing around with and idles beautifully, up and down. Now new tires and wheels. Interior is clean, one crack in the dash, headliner is beautiful and bench looks new!

Oh, it also has a 2” body lift.
I’m thinking 4 or 6” suspension lift.

I also have to rebuild rear drums, I think they are dragging

So I guess you must be young, and don't mind climbing up into the truck every time...

Glad to hear it's running well.

I feel sorry for the door hinges and the steering column when you use them to pull yourself in and out.

I guess it’s a good thing I have a handle on the a pillar. Again, use the step to get up. I don’t even need the handle. It’s nothing more then stepping up
