Well, my 73 has been sitting for about 2 years. I had some issues with hesitation, charging, and leaks galore. My son has been expressing interest in getting this thing running, so we started cleaning and tending to some things that I had been meaning to get to for a long time. It feels like there's too much to do, but if we tackle things 1 by 1, we might be able to get her going. I am not familiar with this motor though and I was hoping there is someone here that is near the San Diego area that may be able to lend a hand if I get desperate.

Im building a 72 with my son right now too. seems like every single part of the truck needs to be touched but thats ok. its all about the build and the time right?

i built a spread sheet that has all of the needs and then a seperate portion for parts/prices/part numbers so its broken down into bite size chunks.
