Special thanks to JBL for retrieving it from the base and holding it a couple days inspecting it and fixing a tire ect.

Started with a jump, runs great, lights all work. Fueled it up at Sparta, ran home between 65-70, a little over 200 miles, gauge is reading 1/2 tank. Call me lucky, 2 for 2 without a preview.

Rocker panels will have to be replaced, they're pretty bad, both doors are dented, a little surface rust on the drivers floorboard other than that the truck is pretty solid. Tranny pan gasket has a small leak, JBL says that's typical, the gasket is pretty thin at the front.
Also rear window has a sign on it not to open window, so I guess i need to remove the inner panel and see why not.
