Name is Jim , recently purchased a straight bodied almost rust free , been in barn for 12+ years 1973 long bed . Poured fluid in clutch slave cylinder , pumped right up , same with both brake reservoirs . A little gas down the throat of the carb. and using my hand for a choke and she fired right up , but would only run with throttle open and almost full hand choke . Soaked carb. overnight in pine sol and runs better today [would even idle for a short time] Have a oem rebuild kit in route from e-bay will update later . Missing parts on this truck are rear bumper , drivers door panel , and front valance [under front bumper] Would be very thankfull with any help locating these parts . Looking like parts are hard to come by . Thanks to everyone in advance for any help locating parts , Jim
I used to live in Oxnard [went to Oxnard High School , got married , and first daughter was born there] used to live on the peninsula across from Silver Strand Beach , but that was 37 years ago . Great memories , thanks Jim
