Just picked this gem up today. Sorting through some of the bugs like why it shuts off when I put it in drive or reverse and why she shuts off when I turn the headlights on.

My Dad has a little blue shortbed exactly like that, it's been over 300K miles from his home in Ohio to Pikes Peak and everywhere in between! Looks like you found a sharp little truck!
Wiring problems are pretty common on these old trucks, but that can be expected from almost any 30-year-old vehicle.

Thanks! After putting some miles on her yesterday and stretching her legs the lights came on with no issues. I'd like to believe it was a weak battery since it had not been driven for quite some time. The stalling out when put in gear issue is still a mystery though. When it's warmed up there's no problem or if I give it some gas then drop it in gear. I'm wondering if the choke is not working properly. It has a Holley 2bbl but I haven't been able to identify it yet due to the rain.
