What a great story. I really like the way you write and all the neat details - starting with your motivation to get an old truck. "I am, always have been, and will always be a Chev/GM guy through and through." (Need a t-shirt with that one!

)
Also impressed with your search to find out what you have. AND sharing it with another newbie (also Canandian truck).

Will definitely look forward to your progress. It looks like you have a lot of things squared away about the forums.
If your first step is getting that engine unseized,
the Bolters in the Engine Shop will give you the best advice.
(So glad you are able to do images with captions! Brings out my happy face.
