Hope to have the engine running this weekend.

Great truck! Almost a mirror image of my truck (except mine has a 292) and my PLAN to get mine safe and running. Keep running into little roadblocks, but brakes are done, cooling system is done, steering column is rebuilt and safe and new exhaust (old one was rusted, held on with baling wire and rubbing on the driveshaft).
It's running, but the head needs to come off (smokes like crazy...hardened seals), the wiring needs to be completely redone, and the carb needs a rebuild. Windshield and rear window will be installed next week. Bed wood and new rails waiting to go in.
Good luck with yours, and keep us up to date!
