My stepson, who lives in Reno NV, just bought an 84 Ramcharger. I'm not a truck guy and I live in NC. The truck is an auto with the 360.

It is in good shape but any truck that old is likely to have issues. This is my stepson's 1st truck but he is mechanically inclined. His friend is recommending that he replace the ThermoQuad. He says that they can leak gas and don't work well in offroad situations. I know TQs are often misunderstood.

The carb needs rebuilding. Should he replace it, if so what should he replace it with? Are they worth rebuilding?
