Trucks Starts!

Well my 390 finally started after sitting for 12 years. I had a post a few months back titled "truck Won't Start" but i could seem to find it in the archives. I found out why when i turned the key that nothing happend, it was 4 wires in the harness that needed to be all spliced together cause the cab was from an auto and there is now a 4spd in the truck. After tuning the carb and setting the timing the engine runs very good. Esp. for after sitting for 12 years and not rebuilt. It doesn't smoke or burn any oil. Now its time to put the mason dump on it and the one tone dually springs and rear in and finish changing my ring and pinion in the front dana 44 high pinion and install that all in my 72 F250 4x4 with 79 body. Once its done i will have pictures for you. and of my 79 F250 4x4 ranger lariat.

Thanks for all the help,
Jeff
