So what I like to do on a new project is make a list of what has to be done to make this truck drive. I have lower back problems and can not push non-driving vehicles in and out of the garage. So here are the items that I need to get done to make that happen.

1-Drop off the automatic transmission to get rebuilt and install
2-Drop off the transfer case to get rebuilt, sealed up and installed
3-Order new u-joints for front and back driveshafts
4-Get the motor running properly
5-Install a new exhaust system

So far the transmission and the transfer case have been dropped off and will be ready for installation in about a week or so. After removing the angle iron from the motor I hooked up a battery and squirted a little fuel down the carburetor and tried to start, but no go. Sounded like a healthy motor but was not getting spark. After further investigation, I notice the HEI distributor cap was cracked. I removed it and also found the internal rotor was broken. After a quick trip to auto parts store the motor fired up no problem.
