Thankyou so much to all that have responded. I purchased a new radiator, replaced the water pump and fuel pump and rebuilt the carb and now, very glad because I will be keeping it. Like lukemoore646 suggested, I will detail it, I like detail, and it will be ready to go. I shot it with PPG base coat/clear coat after replacing the driver rocker pannel and 2 cab corners. All the inside was painted too and I am replacing the dash. I had the seat recovered so it will be nice not a nut and bolt resto but nice. It has a 12 bolt rearend and I put a roll pan with a hde away hitch. Guys, this is the first forum that I have ever participated in and it has been a pleasure. I was hoping not to hear the normal " ahh, throw that away and put a 502 in it". We all know that we can do that. LOL. Again, thanks to all of you and I so appreciate you all taking the time to share you knowledge with me, Harleyguy
