    Too bad you guys missed each other. Hopefully you can meet up on his way back.

    What carb do you have? Looks different then my Zenith. Really there isn't much to em is there;)

    Way to go getting your truck running! How long did you run it?

    What is left on your list of things to do?

    Punch List~

    First, the carburetor is a Rochester. There really isn't much, but what there is, is obviously important for a good running engine.
    The remaining items are:
    Finished hooking up the rest of the wiring harness to the back end
    Finish hooking up the parking brakes
    Drain and replace the transmission fluid
    Flush radiator and refill with the good stuff
    Find out what box type thing I need for the vent on the Colorado rear end
    Replace Driver's side door glass

    Shortly there after, INSTALL SEAT BELTS!!! :rolleyes:

    I think I have it on the ropes now!

    That is my plan, Bill! And real soon!
    I have lots of other things to do, but none interfere with putting this truck in gear!
