Here are some additional engine bay photos of my progress. I noticed how filthy the distributor was, so I pulled it and cleaned the cap and wires and continued putting it together. I am currently trying a few different rust converters on the inner fenders and firewall and have cleaned those up a bit, but it still needs a lot more work. For an old work truck that has been well used, I think the TLC has really turned it around for the better and will keep it in service for years to come. My 3 year old son loves this truck and wants to go for a ride whenever I take it out. I plan to pass it along to him when he grows up. It's not a supercar but it is a family heirloom that I have so many wonderful memories with. My dad was able to find a few pictures of it from when he bought it in 1985. I've also shared those. Amazed it's still around after almost 40 years!
