also if that carb gives your trouble past one rebuild throw it in the trash and get a 2bbl i messed with my org one bbl rodsucker forever before deciding it was just worn out.

Thanks Kro. Debating on a rebuild, or replacement. There is the typical rust. Holes in the floor both passenger and drivers. The fender holes and the door holes have been filled with fiberglass, so not sure if we should leave it for now, or pull it to prevent further damage. I was looking at that tag, but not in detail. I'll have to look again.

Congrats on the new truck. Without the blower motor working, you won't feel any heat in the cab. If you put your hands on both heater hoses and if they are both warm, you will have coolant running thru the heater core.

Thanks Captain. We will have to let it warm up again and check that.

Pirate, after the cold ride home, he was so jazzed, he was out in the dark and cold working on trying to fix the tail light. LOL I was totally surprised that the next morning I didn't find him bundled up in some blankets sleeping in the cab.
