Got the truck out of the garage today before the rain started, and took it for a short drive around the neighborhood. First time I've really driven it, before this all I've done is back it out and back in the garage.

Pretty pleased, verified that both the speedo and the odometer work (no idea on accuracy), and shifted through all 4 gears. Brakes work fine, although they require a really stout push. (Will either need power assist or a smaller-bore master.) Steering is pretty sloppy, I have a ton of play in the original steering box. That will also need to be addressed eventually.

New tires are also on the way, but I haven't ordered the new wheels yet, so they won't be going on the truck for a while.
