that is sweet! good luck with it. sounds solid and ready to work. growing up here in FL. Forrest green has been the state forestry division color as long as I can remember. my 85 step side was that color. I like it myself. Thanks Scratch, reassembly starts this weekend on the rear brake system and dual tanks, found some NOS parts online and a couple of handy Moparts vendors had some other things I needed Little update and help needed, all the parts arrived, rear brake lines are complete and bled, front and rear fuel tanks are installed, plumed, wired, new fuel lines from the pump back and new sumps in both tanks. Truck is now disassembled and prepped for primer/sealer/paint, temporary paint booth is built, paint my happen this weekend Now for the help needed...when I got the truck it had zero fuel system installed, it had a one gallon jug bungied in front of the radiator and plumed straight to the fuel pump, the truck ran perfect during all the yard driving ( burned 2 gallons of gas) that I did prior to disassembly for paint...then...installed the complete fuel system, both tanks were blown and vaccumed, fuel lines were new, switching valve is new, sumps are new, both tanks have a vent in the top that I guess used to go to the vapor canister? I plumbed them together with a "T" vent...ok...that's a long story to get to the point...the truck now runs like "S@#T!!! Won't idle, revs up and down on its own when you make it stay running...what am I missing here, any ideas?

Sounds like low fuel level in the carb. Maybe sucking air somewhere or the pump isn't putting out the volume it needs to fill the carb. I would get it running for a minute or so then check the fuel level in the carb or put a pressure gauge on it. Or just pull the line off, put it in a catch can and crank it to see how much volume is coming out.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll go back over all the connections and check the fuel pressure, it came with an AFB installed so checking fuel level will require removing the top of the carb, I was going to do that anyway just to make sure it didn't pick up some trash somehow.

I was thinking about sucking air too except that it would probably leak gas from the same place. Other thought was maybe the one fuel line you didn't replace, if there is one. Clear bodied fuel filters are a good way to see how much fuel is getting pumped to the carb. Maybe go back to the aux fuel can feeding the pump to verify the carb and if it runs good from that, work your way back one connection at a time until it has a problem again.

Thanks for the ideas, only line that's not new is the line from the pump to the carb, and it has a clear filter at the carb inlet but I didn't notice how much gas was in it, I'll check that. I like the idea of hooking it back up to the aux one gallon tank to see if it clears up then working my way back, I'll try that also

Update...RAIN...also, just looked at the first bed pic and realized half the bed looked dull...couldn't figure out why until I realized it's the reflection of the plastic curtain hanging from the rafter . Rain (humidity) look to be hanging around until late in the week so I'm on hold....

Looks good! I always liked single stage paint, but now I like using base/clear much better. Thanks, I finished the cab yesterday, no pictures, have to start unmasking today and then check for touch up needed areas. I tried base coat clear coat once but jacked up the cut and buff so I haven't shot it since, on a side note I did figure out why the truck was running bad after I installed the fuel system seems when a 31 gallon tank is bone dry 5 gallons of gas will not cover the pick up...so yes, the pick up was sucking air and a little bit of gas ...
