I also forgot to ask the q's on the basics.
Have you verified the following prior to battery, ignition, and stomping on the starter?
Ignition: points, timing, dwell, etc. Is spark actually present?
Fuel: quality of fuel, fuel filter, carb gaskets, diaphragm? Is fuel being delivered to the engine?
I also agree with Hotshoe, new rubber, brakes, and a more friendly final drive will make the truck a little nicer to drive.
