Re: How to get my dad's old pickup running?

how far is the truck from Portland? since your time is limited, I might suggest you get a uhaul truck & car trailer & haul it back to Portland. then you can work on it as time permits & not be rushed.

Portland OR from Eastern SD. I'd consider hauling it out but I can't even find parking for my motorcycle, let alone a vehicle to work on. Plus it's illegal to work on the streets out here.

Yeah, if I had the time I would spend a week out there watching Youtube and messing around. But my primary goal is to make sure it doesn't get screwed up from sitting there.

Thanks for all the advice!
