Nice looking truck Teamja2, my hood latch didnt work on my 55' 6400 but after some penetrant and use it started working again. My truck sat for 19 years but none of the parts have turned out to be broken (except the entire brake system). They built em right for heavy use back then. Best of luck to you on your trip. I would advise checking out the gas tank for rust as that made mine very unreliable, though an easy fix.
