Mechanically some things are in great shape, others need some work. The new engine only has about 6 miles total on it, but still had the original points style ignition. Worse, a mouse appears to have taken a liking to the power wires from the distributor, so it immediately had to go. The transmission is needing a rebuild as well, which I'll probably just have the local shop do. They quoted me $850 to just drop the truck off and have the whole thing dropped, rebuilt, and reinstalled with a new converter.

So far I've done the following:

-new battery
-new rubber junctions on the fuel lines
-new Quick Fuel HR-670-VS carb
-new HEI distributor and 8mm plug wires
-regapped spark plugs
-installed a new mechanical fuel pump

Before I go any further, I'm replacing the gas tank and all of the hard lines. I ordered the tank and a new sending unit today from Sokyclassics, and I bought new line and the bending / flaring tools yesterday at the local parts store.

Pretty sure this needed replaced:
