Yes the truck is running as smoothly as it was before the carburetor croaked.
Start a thread with your specific questions. I'm sure someone here will be able to solve your problem.
I own a lot of different vehicles and work on friends' vehicles for fun. I follow various forums specific to certain makes and models even if I don't have a specific problem that I need to solve.
I literally learn something new every time I work on a vehicle or read forums.
Today I finished installing coil/strut assemblies on a 2004 Lexus LS 430. It's the newest car I've ever worked on in my life. It belongs to a friend of mine. It sure was a lot more involved than changing shocks on a '66 Mustang!
