Welp, got the truck back after having the carb rebuilt, and the truck is running pretty darn smooth. Now...on to the 24+ y/o suspension, then...the never-ending battle with rust. I sure do love this old truck though. I look forward to having another vehicle someday so I can start learning about how everything works without worrying too much about making sure I can get to work on monday. Not to mention a driveway/garage

Have been working on the Explorer since I got out of work. I am trying to get one of my two vehicles road worthy so I can work on the other one. I was using the F150 and working on the explorer now I have to switch.

As in: something prevents you from progressing on the Explorer?
" I was using the F150" ?
As in: it died on you?

josiah and kevin, have fun! working on your own vehicle sucks, i am certain of that.
my brother bought this bad boy today: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/ctd/1691588754.html
greg, this place is in weymouth MA, near boston about 2.5 hours away. same place??? also greg, your old '79 passed me today, with a coat of wax! it sounded pretty strong and the kid was smiling. i guess he spent hours sanding and painting the exhaust. i thought you'd be happy to know its on the road and being taken care of.
im tired. good night!
