"New" '78 LWB

Well, I acquired another truck yesterday. It's a relatively straight '78 lwb (minus the really bent hood) with a 305 4 Barrel, TH350 and a 12 bolt rearend.

It doesn't run...yet...but it had a new battery in it that was just run down, so I charged it up last night and put it in this morning and it does turn over. I put a spark tester in the #1 plug and it has a spark, but it is VERY weak, so I am going to assume that is the primary issue. I'll work on it some this week as I have a chance, but I don't really know what I am going to do with it if I get it running.

I couldn't pass it up though, the price was right. Other than the hood and it not running it's not a bad lookin truck. I don't know if I will fix it or part it out . I don't really have the time to spare on it.

I'll keep ya'll posted
