Hello, Wife purchased this mostly original truck a few years ago and I am trying to keep her running and looking good. Unfortunately, my old mechanic cannot get under vehicles anymore so it's up to me. My accounting background is not helpful, but I am willing to learn, and get grimy. Right now, all I'm good at is paying. I'm sure I will learn something from y'all and so far --- I find it is challenging fun.

Chris, Welcome, it is worth the effort. You have an excellent base. Lucky you, my wife called my 1960 MGA and my 54 3100 junk. Told me to get the junk out of the yard. I had the garage built, and still have a garage.

Welcome Chris. If there is something specific you need help with let me know. It might be within my abilities and I'm fairly close by Texas standards.

If your wife is into those old trucks maybe she would like to be the main mechanic on it? There are many women now turning wrenches on projects like that. I know of a few, and they do just great. She made a good choice on that truck.
Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks. Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins
X2 for what J Lucas said (that your wife has good taste. - lol).
Beg pardon for the rest of us sitting here drooling over your truck!
Looking forward to seeing your future posts!
