I've wanted an old square body for years and was finally able to get one. I was actually trying to figure out the best solution for my drive shaft issue when I stumbled upon this site. I'm looking forward to the availability of advice.

It's got some carb, power steering, and tie rod issues that need to be addressed at the moment. Once I get that straight I've got to replace the exhaust and solve an issue with the front drive shaft. After I get it mechanically sound I'm going to look into straightening the body of and putting a fresh coat of paint on it, and on from there. Money being an issue it will take some time, but like I said it is a great starting point. For the truck to have been a mud toy for the past owner it really doesn't have as much rust as I expected it to have.
