Another Noob with a '72

[72bbblu]

New to this forum...belong to many others. I found out how valuable a resource a good forum can be when I did a frame off on my '68 vette roadster. I just picked up a '72 C10 Delux LWB fleetside 350/th350. It's a two owner truck with 92k miles. The gentleman who owned the truck is in his 80's and had not driven it for at least three years. She needs brake work, runs a bit rough but is a very solid truck.

I'm starting by changing all the fluids/filters and sorting out the brakes. The diaphragm was shot in the fuel pump so that goes in tomorrow. From there, I want to get it to 'solid running' status. That will involve ignition/carb work and seeing where I stand with the factory four seasons air conditioning.

When I restored the vette, some of the corvette parts houses put together a vacuum kit that had all the correct hoses, check valves, etc. along with a diagram for routing/location. This truck is not the vacuum addict the vette was, but I know vacuum affects power brake booster, transmission, A/C, timing, PCV and probably a dozen other things I don't know. Do you know where a vacuum diagram could be had? Are there any vendors who generally carry all the vacuum pieces and maybe even have a kit?

This truck is so original, I'm seriously considering going back to pure stock. I may do a few things which can easily be remedied (wheels and headers/exhaust come to mind) but I'm headed toward ending up with a sweet original ride.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
