It's Running!

After rebuilding the carburetor we only had to do a few more things like, change the spark plugs, change the spark plug wires, clean the distributor, add fresh oil to the engine block, and buy a new six volt battery.  At that point we were able to get it started and it runs great.  No pinging valves or missing.  After that we made sure that every fitting on the truck was greased.  Then it was time for a test drive on an old country road.  Fortunately it was an old country road because I could not stop it.  It had at least one brake shoe that was working because it was pulling to the left.  I was actually standing on the brakes and the truck seemed to go on forever.  I tried down shifting but the transmission is not "syncro mesh" which means you have to jam the shifter pretty hard to get it to down shift.  At this point we limped back to the garage and decided that the next project will be brakes.
