i like tinkering
i just dont want to invent an entire car from scratch again

It is a lot of work, but creating something that once only existed in my mind is worth it to me.

Got it.
Now for the long drive home in snow

A REALLY cool truck!
Before it got on the trailer someone asked if it was for sale
And a guy asked to take pictures of it at a gas station

 

[Willowbilly3]

Did you get to test drive it?

I am going to replace the carburetor with a new one.
And throw a couple tires and a kickbutt heater at it

I bought myself a few "christmas presents", but you've taken it to the extreme!

Does it run? I thought you weren't buying any more cars that don't run, lol.
What's wrong with the carb that you can't just kit it? Unless you actually find a NEW carb, those over the counter rebuilds are about 90% junk.

 

[billy]

It tries to run.
The carb is old and dirty
When I get a chance I will figure out what year the engine is
Then I will ask you guys what carb to use for low rpm usage.

Probably has a carter BBD. I'm not a Mopar afficiando but I think those are a small base. Pretty good carb overall but not much else will bolt on except maybe the small base Rochester 2GC. I can't imagine a good cleaning and kit wouldn't put yours right back in top shape. No doubt a full cleaning of the whole fuel system is in order.
This is probably the basic kit.
