Nice for a first truck!
I would give only one piece of advice on not being mechanically inclined and owning an old rod. Make sure it ain't your daily driver. Cuz when you get to work on them and learn the basics of wrenchin' for the fun of it... it makes for a lot more good fun in the end. Fixin' stuff on a 40 year old rod cuz you have to have it for work the next morning and it's 9:30pm... sucks bigtime. Ask me how I know!
