That's a nice looking truck, worthy of time and investment. The memories of your father can go on for many years after he's gone so fixing it up for keepers is priceless.

However, I think it's a waste of time and money to get it running just to move it to your new home to then do the teardown.

You would either have to risk driving without current tags and insurance, or get current tags and insurance plus all the money you would have to spend getting it running then when you rebuild it you just might have to do over(you said in a year but me and you both know life happens) the gas will probably be stale by then.

I say if you want to get it running to use as a driver, then OK but if just for moving one house to the other you would be better off towing it.

My .02$-make it a driver for now and take my advice, don't tear it down until you have the means of putting it back together.

Best of luck to you young man.
