Great looking truck! Love that paint and interior. Love the 216: great motors. You'll love it too once you get the kinks out. I mostly agree with the others that everything needs checked, disassembled, cleaned, inspected, "fixed", lubed and put back together. Take it slowly and methodically and work thru things one at a time. For lots of us fixing the stuff that goes wrong is part of the fun!
Enjoy It! But safety first when jacking up and getting under it!
Good luck.
Understood! That is what I have been doing. Just working on it a few times a week. It will get there, just need some help with some of the most foreign aspects of the system. Thanks for the nice comments and advice.
