Only thing that doesn't work is the parking brake at this point. Fuel gauge might not now that we put more fuel in it. I'm guessing the fuel sender has sat in the same spot for awhile. Heater, vacuum wipers, all lights work. Been doing a bunch of research on here already and will try to post a pic at some point if I can do it without photo bucket

Sounds like you have found a nice truck. Any help you need just post it in the garage forums. Everyone here is waiting and willing to help you...... and your wife is on your team so your set to ride. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 214 | Thanks I'm actually considering it her truck :p. We've been looking for an older vehicle for awhile, and she wants to learn how to work on vehicles more. Truck came with new door latches and strikers so I've already done the driver side as it didn't want to latch. Wife is doing passenger side next. Carb rebuild kit on the way, checked coolant for winter. Fix some minor leaks and replace windshield and it'll be pretty much good to go.

One way to post photos it to use that "attachments" feature that appears below the Post/Edit window, when using the Full Editor option.
However, I do not think that photos can be attached in this forum (the Welcome Center)?
In the Welcome Center, I think you have to provide a link to a photo hosted elsewhere (like Photobucket or Google Drive or . . .). Many of those hosting sites cause problems by loading up the viewer's screen with advertisements.
