Very cool info! The guy I got her from rebuilt it with his father when he was 13 (he's mid 40s now) so I'm sure I'll be able to pick his brain more when I get home and find out more about the truck.
I've also downloaded TMs and @CARNAC vin list, so I'll be able to hunt that way too.

Under the hood will be next week when I get in and recover her.
As far as stock parts, I will DEFINITELY be in touch about that.
If you want, you can PM me a general accounting of what you have/prices or you can email me at kendelrio at Gmail
Thank you!

As far as the cab goes, I may need to find a new one. I looked at the truck a...
I'm **sure** you've downloaded the -10 and -20 TMs for your truck and have pursued them (if you aren't familiar with the TM system, the last 2 digits of your series truck is the main one... -10 is operators manual and -20 is maintenance).
That said- I remember my first MV and how intimidated I...
I just found a previous thread on this book...
Not a purist, but being as I'm beginning with a serious resto job, it would be nice to have a copy...
And no... it isn't worth $700.00 plus to me...
