thanks buddy. i drove 2.5 hrs up to go and get the truck only on the condition that it was driveable. We got it to run but the carb was messed up/ timing was off/ and it sounded like it had a dropped valve or bad cam. Anywho.. I didnt bring the truck back. He is going to work on it and call next week. Hopefully round two is better. Inside of the truck is super clean. And only superficial surface rust.
