One thing led to another and before you knew it I was the next owner of it. Here's the complete story of the truck as well as the start of making her become roadworthy again.

    I want you to get it running. Then, put your foot on the gas and rev the engine to about 6000 RPM to see if the engine can take, like most of the other country bumpkins on UA-cam. If it does blow up at 6000 RPM, you can just say, "Look, I told yall the engine was bad" !!!

The rig runs decent once warm, but im thinking theres probably a few things on the carb I should hook up eventually. Can i drive the rig long distances with everything just capped off for now? the idle solenoid is hooked up but nothing else. every single thing is capped. Dan
