I have done the exact same thing Steve. My tank is at the radiator shop getting a acid bath as we speak. Im no mechanic but ive already learned alot from this ol truck. Just getting it to run and idle and drive down the road after sitting 30 years made me feel GREAT! Really all she needs now to be road worthy is carb rebuilt, tank reinstalled, brakes rebled and adjusted and taillights. It makes you feel good when your the only one who has touched it and its come this far in such a small ammount of time.
