Nice. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for her?

Nice truck Dave.
I had to replace my fuse block and some wiring too. And my door seal rubbers and window channels were petrified. All plastic and rubber is pretty much toast after baking in the California sunshine for 50 years. I'm curious to know how that Weber performs for you over the stock carb.

Meigsican...
The Weber made a huge difference....really happy with it!
Think I might attempt the electronic distributor install today!
My rear light issue I think is related to the turn signal flasher....I think it shorted out....easy replace to find out.

Well....the lighting issue turned out to be a bad flasher, and ground problem with the actual tail light housing itself!
Installed a new spade fuse panel today, cleaned up some of the wiring in the engine compartment, and picked up the distributor cap and rotor from NAPA for my electronic distributor install.
Learned the cap and rotor for the Cardone 31-667 Remanufactured HEI Electronic Distributor and Modulea are fro a 1984 B2000.
Now, I'm looking for the base plate for the distributor....have a line on one.....hope it pan's out.

Shocks (KYB) and a new spade 6 post fuse panel yesterday....ride's a lot nicer.
Tighten up the steering box next!
I also greased wherever I could while the front tires were off.....I don't think it's been done since it was last in Japan!
Note to self: Driver's side lugs are reverse thread!
