Thanks again for all the comments. I'm sure glad I found this place too!

Speed - the parking brake cables etc aren't under the truck--though the handle and floor pedal dealie are in the cab. I was checking out the LMCtrucks website and it shows a metal rod and some cables that go to the brakes. I am wishing my manual would get here soon so I can figure out how to put the brakes in...as soon as I get the $$ to buy all this stuff smile

Thanks for the tips on the window crank, i'm going to take a look at it first thing tonight!

Chevman32 -- thanks, I wish I lived closer to you and I'd for sure take you up on it.

I'm so impressed that these old trucks just won't quit running!
