We will see, it will need quite a bit of cleanup first as it has Marvel Mystery oil splattered all over it, from a backfire early on.

It's so close.... another 30 min and I could have it running, but without gauges, which isn't smart. It would be running with open headers and my neighbors wouldn't appreciate that, at 9 PM. 
The headers are both on now on, rockers are on and valve lash is set, I finished connecting the fuel pump lines, etc. Both headers were a PITA to get in place, they both hit the frame in multiple places and had to be clearanced.
I still need to;
I finally got my POR15 Gas Tank sealer, this stuff is EXPENSIVE!! - https://amzn.to/3ld81lk
I rinsed the gas tank several more times, using my pressure washer, then Degreaser and finally Muratic acid to etch the surface inside the tank. I added 2 quarts of the Gas Tank sealer and flipped it around every 30 min so everything was covered. The sealer needs 96 hours to cure!! I want to have it running before that, so I may run a line from the fuel pump right to my 5 gallon gas can.

- Install the new gauges
- Bolt on the water pump pulley
- Buy new alternator & install
- Install fan belt
- Install spark plugs
- Get vacuum hose for distributor
- Install spark plug wires

Definitely let it seal for the full 96 hours. I wouldn't ever want to redo a tank. A gas can is probably a more appropriate way to start an old truck that you dragged out of a field a few weeks ago.
