What would you like to do to the truck? There are a lot of things that can be done to make it run better, but you have to make sure that you fit into the California smog laws with them. Beng that old of a truck, I would imagine the Smoggies don't have a lot of rules that apply to the truck. Do you want to go different with the engine and do you want to make it more economical than it ws in it's glory. The 3 speed and the six banger were the driver's small engine combo of the past, but there are many things that would give you mileage and performance that can be changed.

I spent some time in the San Diego area, while I was in the service in the early 70s and my wife's uncle was stationed at the base on Coronado, while living in base housing on the Strand. He also turned wrenches at the Sears store in Chula Vista for spare money.
