Well, it is nice for once to be surrounded by people who care equally for a good old truck. I believe I actually still have the shop manual for the truck, since my father had already rebuilt the engine and tranny. As always, I appreciate the information and insight greatly. And of course, I'll keep firing off questions, such as this one: I've gotten it started, and had it idling for a few seconds but much to my dismay, both the choke and throttle knob are jammed. I suspect they're rusted in the lining. How would I go about dislodging them without destroying the lines themselves?
Also, I've heard that removing the original paint is not a good thing if you want to keep it as original as possible, even if you repaint it original after.
once again, thank you all in the stovebolt community for your continued help and sympathy, you guys will definitely help get this truck on a road to recovery.
