As mentioned earlier, after 46 years we started the truck on 8/8.
We were able to take it for a drive or two but had to iron out a couple of bugs. Replaced the dizzy, intake manifold gasket and drained and cleaned the tank. She is ready to roll when the rain stops.
We held a little party for starting the truck with family and friends. My dad was able to watch the event via Skype.
We had three GoPro cameras around. If you are interested, you can see the videos
