Thanks! Excited to get into this new project!
I did not ship it. It was only 3 hrs from my home, so I picked it up and drove it.
It is clear from the ride that there is an issue with the powersteering (had to work hard to keep it from drifting out of the lanes) and I wonder about the robustness of the engine as there was not very good acceleration overall. Otherwise, it was pretty much what I expected from a 42 year old vehicle described as a "not perfect work truck" (I also think there is a fuel tank leak based on a quick look at it and the low gears of the 4wd are a bit crunchy).
Looks like there will be a lot to do!!
