Update:

Finally got it back at the beginning of April. IT has stranded me on the side of the road 2 of 4 times it has been driven. The culprit was a bad fuel sending unit and a rusty, gunk-filled tank.

Repairs so far:

Rebuilt carb
new fuel pump
new tank
new fuel sending unit
new tires
new AC compressor

Transmission and engine operate smoothly.

Next Steps:

--Get gauges working properly
--Fix wiring in the cab. Somebody installed a crappy equalizer and speakers, as well as a dome light with exposed wiring.
